Ohio State and head basketball coach Thad Matta mutually agreed to part ways on Monday afternoon, bringing to a close what is arguably the greatest 13-year period in Buckeye basketball.

Matta leaves Columbus with a .733 winning clip, with five Big Ten regular-season championships, four tournament titles and two Final Four appearances under his belt.

As you'd fully expect, former Ohio State players and alumni took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the news.
