Ohio State's offense has struggled for much of Big Ten play, but it hit a new low Sunday afternoon against Michigan State.
Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann's full press conference from Feb. 10, 2023.On the attack, Bruce Thornton drew a foul on his Michigan State defender. With the possession extended, he attempted a 3-pointer that didn't fall, but when the rebound went out of bounds the Buckeyes got another try.
For a sixth straight time and 11th time in 12 games, Ohio State lost. This time, the final was Michigan State 62, Ohio State 41. That would’ve made it a one-possession game, but instead Michigan State’s Joey Hauser made a 3-pointer to put Ohio State down eight. It stemmed the tide, and Michigan State would extend its advantage by scoring on six of its next seven possessions to open a 51-35 lead, its biggest of the afternoon, with 5:56 to play.
The only saving grace was that Michigan State, too, was struggling to find an offensive rhythm – for a while, at least. When Brice Sensabaugh split two free throws, Felix Okpara pulled down a rebound and Sean McNeil ended the possession with a driving layup, it ended a 6:19 scoring drought for Ohio State and tied the game at 9 with 8:40 to play.
