College career
Ross' commitment to the Ohio State University was delayed due an investigation by the NCAA regarding his academic eligibility, joining the team on December 11, 2011.[2] Later on December 22, Ross made his first appearance of his inaugural year by adding 5 points vs Miami University.[1] After the freshman season, Ross played in all 37 games of the 2012–13 season.[3] Included in Ross' 2012–13 campaign was a 22-point game versus Northern Kentucky University on December 1, a 15-point breakout versus Chicago State, and another 16-point performance versus Michigan on February 5.[1] Overall, during Ross' 2012–13 season, he acquired a total of 8.3 points per game and a field goal percentage of 46.8%, an improvement from his 2.0 points per game and 33.3% field goal percentage during his freshmen year. During the 2013 NCAA Tournament, Ross scored the game-winning 3-point shoot off a pass from Ohio State teammate Aaron Craft which subsequently led to Ohio State's advancement to the Elite Eight. In the next tournament game, Ross scored 19 points in 22 minutes during a 70–66 loss to the Wichita State Shockers. Later, during his 2013–14 season, Ross totaled 15.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and a 44.7 field goal percentage.[4]
