Finding troubled waters against underdog Cornell on Tuesday, Ohio State found a 51-32 edge in rebounding to propel itself to victory.
Ohio State found fewer advantages than some might have expected during its matchup with Cornell in the first round of the NIT.
The Buckeyes pulled in 51 boards to the Big Red’s 32, grabbing 22 on the offensive end for 15 second-chance points, pushing them past a hard-cutting, shooting-oriented Cornell team. “We kind of got diced up on backdoor cuts,” Battle said. “It was an emphasis, but coming off of one day of prep, having one day to have live reps against something like that and a team like that who’s very well-coached, very disciplined, it’s obviously a tough assignment. But we found a way to figure it out. And it’s the NIT as well. There’s gonna be great teams who want to compete, who want to have a chance to play for a championship at the end of the season.
Rebounding has been a significant issue for Ohio State at times this season. They’ve been out-boarded by at least four in their last four losses, the most stark discrepancy coming at Wisconsin on Feb. 13 when the Badgers bested the Buckeyes 39-26 on the glass.
