AN OVERVIEW
Mark Titus joined the Ohio State men’s basketball program for the 2006-07 season as a team manager but soon decided playing more to his liking. Just before the start of the record-setting 2006-07 campaign, Titus was added to the roster to help the Buckeyes prepare during practice. One of the best shooters in the state of Indiana during his senior season at Brownsburg High School, Titus remains one of the best long-range threats in the Ohio State program.
