On March 31st, Ohio State senior guard Bruce Thornton just landed a spot in the Reese's Division I college all-star game, a top honor for one of the Buckeyes all-time greats. This showcase pulls together elite seniors from across NCAA Division I and hits the court during Final Four weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium. Thornton balled out this season, dropping a career-high 19.9 points per game alongside 5.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He drained shots at 55.4% from the field, racked up 77 points to crack Ohio State's top 10, single-season list, and led the Big Ten with 148 assists.
Fans and coaches see him as a total leader, the first four-time captain in program history who evolved from solid rookie to team cornerstone over four years in Columbus. His steady climb turned heads, making him a floor general, everyone respected on and off the court. Wrapping his career, Thornton owns Ohio State's all-time scoring record at 2,096 points, passing legends like Dennis Hopson. That senior surge locked in his legacy among the program's elite guards.
