Ohio State will go to Rutgers riding a three-game losing streak. What's gone wrong for the Buckeyes on both ends of the court in the last week?
Ohio State defensive coach Jack Owens discusses the team in this Jan. 13, 2023 press conference.Sean McNeil was supposed to be in the postgame interview room one week before he actually was.
After beating Northwestern on New Year’s Day to move to 10-3 overall and 2-2 in the Big Ten, Ohio State lost to Purdue, fell at Maryland three days later and then to Minnesota one week after the Purdue game. In all three cases, Ohio State’s opponent entered the game fresh off at least one loss. Against Minnesota, Ohio State shot 37.5% from the field, its lowest total since it went 21 for 58 in a loss at Maryland on Feb. 27, 2022. Ball movement seems to have dried up: Ohio State had assists on 47.2% of its field goals through the first 14 games but totaled only 13 assists in its last two games. That equates to a 27.1% assist rate, and the five assists against Minnesota were the fewest in a game since the Buckeyes had four in an 81-62 home loss to Michigan State on Feb. 23, 2016.
In summary: as the Buckeyes have adjusted to the loss and return of Key, ball movement has dried up, two-point shots aren’t falling and most of the shots are coming from two players.It’s never seemed realistic that this year’s team could put together an elite defense, but “The thing is, throughout the course of the game we’re doing some good things,” he said. “Sustaining effort in what we’re doing is where we’re at. That’s what we have to do. It’s not just one thing. We have to continue to sustain an effort.”
