Brice Sensabaugh is already earning his place for Ohio State. Especially in late game situations, per Eleven Warriors’ Josh Poloha.

Averaging 14 points per game, Sensabaugh has established himself as a scorer for the Buckeyes, and his teammates are taking notice.

Sensabaugh has helped lead the Buckeyes to a 7-2 start, including a clutch performance against Rutgers where Ohio State won on a buzzer beater in the final seconds. Chris Holtmann had high praise for the young guy:

I feel like he’s probably our best guy at creating his own shot. I think that’s what you’re looking for late in games is those guys that can create their own shot. There’s an art to getting your shot off of a great defense and he was being guarded by a really good player. I think if he would’ve stopped maybe a half-step early he would’ve been able to get to his sweet spot there. I have tremendous confidence in his ability to do that.

He still has a long season ahead of him, but Sensabaugh is giving Buckeyes fans confidence early this season.

We’ll see how Sensabaugh’s role with the Buckeyes continues to grow as a matchup with North Carolina is up next on Dec. 17. Tipoff will be at 3 p.m. ET on CBS.
