Two days ago, Fran McCaffery was asked about what he thought of his team's efforts during the 2023-24 season. During the press conference after the loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes, Fran McCaffery had this to say:

"I’m really proud of this group. It’s hard to win 18 games with the schedule we had, and you’re right. We had some tough times. We had some tough losses, but we had some great wins. We won some close games. We stayed together. I thought our young guys continued to get better and continued to produce."

The Buckeyes won 90-78, with Payton Sandfort being the Hawkeyes' top player with 19 points scored, six rebounds, and three assists. Jamison Battle was for his part the top scorer for Ohio State, with 23 points, nine rebounds, and two assists. When asked about Payton Sandfort's efforts, McCaffery said this:

"I thought it was particularly impressive considering how he was being guarded. So I’m really proud of him."
