Deshaun Thomas will forego his senior season of eligibility and enter the NBA draft.

"My three years at Ohio State have been the best years of my life,” Thomas said in a statement released by the school. “I have grown tremendously as an individual and as a basketball player. I intend to return to finish my degree, but I believe that now is the best opportunity to pursue my dream and begin my career as a professional basketball player.”

Thomas, a 6-foot-7 forward, is projected as a late-first to early-second round pick.

Thomas led the Buckeyes while scoring 19.8 points per game this season, and finished ninth on Ohio State's all-time scoring list with 1,630 points.

Ohio State defeated Wisconsin by a final score of 50-43 to win the 2013 Big Ten Tournament.

Aaron Craft was named Tournament MVP.

Craft was joined on the All-Tournament Team by teammate Deshaun Thomas, Wisconsin's Ryan Evans and Traevon Jackson, and Indiana's Cody Zeller.

Trey Burke has been named the Big Ten Player of the Year, winning both the award voted upon by the Coaches and Media.

Burke was joined on the All-Big Ten First team (Coaches) by teammate Tim Hardaway Jr., Ohio State's Deshaun Thomas, and Victor Oladipo and Cody Zeller of Indiana.

On the All-Big Ten Second Team by Michigan State's Keith Appling, Gary Harris and Adreian Payne, Ohio State's Aaron Craft and Wisconsin's Jared Berggren.

Oladipo won Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, while Harris won Freshman Player of the Year.

Andrew Wiggins has eliminated Ohio State and Syracuse from his list of college choices.

Wiggins is planning his next official visits as he has already been to Florida State.

Kentucky is tentatively set for Feb. 27, Kansas for March 3 and North Carolina on March 9.

“It's tentative until parents confirm they can go,” Huntington Prep (W.Va.) coach Rob Fulford told CBSSports.com.

Malachi Richardson received a scholarship offer from Ohio State.

Richardson, considered a top-20 player in the class of 2015, has offers from Indiana, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Cincinnati, Maryland and Miami.

Kansas is expected to extend an offer, while Georgetown and Villanova are also expressing interest.

The Big Ten ranks first in ESPN's weekly college basketball rankings.

The ranking is comprised of Top 25 polls and using computer analysis of the BPI.

The Big Ten has six teams in the Top 25 AP poll, four of which are ranked in the top 11 in the nation.

The Big East ranks second, followed by the Pac-12, ACC and Mountain West.

The Big 12 and SEC rank sixth and seventh.

Ohio State ranks 59th nationally in points allowed per possession through the first five games of the season.

“We’re trying hard on defense, and that’s a step,” Buckeyes head coach Thad Matta said. “Now it’s understanding what we’re trying to take away, the path that you need to take. Sometimes the path of least resistance gets you in a lot of trouble.”

Matta said before the season that an emphasis for his backcourt – and the Buckeyes defense overall – was to generate more points off turnovers. The Buckeyes are eighth in the Big 10 in turnover rate and rank 212th in the country in the category.

“One of the big things with this team is just getting them to understand how long and athletic they are,” Matta said. “You’ve got another gear of providing help and you can still get back to your man; the ball can’t travel as fast as you are. Those are things you’re trying to show guys, (that they can) give a little bit more in terms of support.”

Aaron Craft, who was honored as the Big Ten defensive player of the year last season, has seen his steal percentage drop from 4.63 to 3.14, which ranks 412th nationally.

“The defensive (effort) has to be there every game, regardless of (whether) I’m shooting 100 percent or 5 percent. It’s got to be there,” he said. “Playing defense is a total mindset and a total attitude, and when we grasp that as a team, and we do at times, we can be pretty good. And that’s going to lead to our best offense, layups in transition and things like that.”

Andrew Wiggins is not expected to make his college selection until after the high school season.

Wiggins plans on taking visits in the spring and signing once those visits are completed.

Schools on his list include, in no particular order, Florida State, Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, Ohio State and Syracuse.
