The Buckeyes appear to be in free fall, having lost four of five games entering March Madness. Can they right the ship entering in time?
Ohio State optimists are in quicksand, desperately reaching for rationale along the lines of"Yes, we wrecked the car, but we needed a new one anyway."just got bounced from the Big Ten Tournament by No. 11 seed Penn State"Yes, we desperately need a point guard who can get to the rim, but we’ve got some recruits coming in who we think can do just that."— who provide consistent scoring, but that’s better than having only one.
As doppelgangers go, Thursday’s 71-68 loss to Penn State was the spittin’ image of Sunday’s 75-69 loss to Michigan, in which the Buckeyes played well enough to build a seven-point halftime lead and poorly enough to splatter after intermission.Ohio State held a nine-point halftime lead against the Nittany Lions but then turned helpless against the second-lowest-rated offense in the Big Ten. Similar to Michigan, Penn State got great production from its guards.
On that topic, let’s see what Holtmann can do with a healthy roster and highly-rated recruiting class before mutinying him off the Bounty. Granted, this habit of enduring mid-to-late-season losing streaks is perplexing, fatalistically trending toward alarming. But typically there has been a bounce-back. Last season, OSU lost four consecutive games to end the regular season, then won three straight in the Big Ten tournament before losing the championship game to Illinois in overtime.
