Indiana seized the game with a massive run to end the first half. That, and more, from Ohio State's loss Saturday at Assembly Hall.
Full press conference with Ohio State's Zed Key and Sean McNeil after an 86-70 loss at Indiana on Jan. 28, 2023.has often had issues with the final minutes of halves this seasonSaturday night at Assembly Hall took it to a whole new level. After questioning everything but the kitchen sink after a decisive road loss to Illinois on Tuesday night, the Buckeyes opened their lone meeting against the Hoosiers by putting their best foot forward. They were attacking the glass.
“The run at the end of the half hurt us in the long run,” Key said. “We can’t give up that many consecutive points. It starts on the defensive end, and shots weren’t falling so that’s not helping either.” Instead, the Hoosiers were able to keep the Buckeyes at arm’s length for the duration. Ohio State trailed by double digits for the entire second half and got no closer than 11 points.“It was tough,” McNeil said. “When you give up a run like that on the road, we played them pretty even in the second half but giving up that substantial amount of points in that short of time, it went from like six to 16. We played them even in the second half. Gave up way too many points.
The Buckeyes have now lost seven of their last eight games and hit the middle of Big Ten play with a 3-7 record. It’s their longest such streak since the 1997-98 team lost 17 straight games to close the season. While Brown has seen intermittent playing time this season, Wright State transfer Tanner Holden played a season-low 5:17 off the bench and did not see action until he subbed in with 5:17 to play.
It came with 7:50 remaining in the first half and the Buckeyes trailing 23-21 after Ohio State’s Roddy Gayle was called for a foul on Kaleb Banks as he scored in the paint. On the prior possession, Ohio State’s Bruce Thornton hadn’t earned a call on a similar play, and Holtmann was livid on the sideline.
