Summer Guest Series 2025: Matt Sylvester | Getting Recruited by Huggins, Izzo, Knight, Transition from O'Brien to Matta, Drinks with Mike Vrabel, the World-Melting Shot That Changed the Course of Ohio State Basketball + MORE

The 2025 Summer Guest Series continues with former Buckeye Matt Sylvester (2001-2006) joining the Views From The Schott Podcast.

The man who hit one of the biggest shots in program history, a 3-pointer to topple then undefeated No. 1 Illinois on March 6, 2005, talks through his basketball life from growing up in Italy and watching his dad play 17 years of professional basketball, through his final game, an NCAA Tournament loss to Georgetown.

Hear incredible, never-before-shared stories from Sylvester's basketball career, including pissing off Bob Huggins before committing to Ohio State, losing Mr. Basketball to some bum named LeBron James, a supernatural force the night before his game-winning shot over Illinois, and many more great stories.
