Ohio State never led and dropped its eighth game in its last nine on a night where coach Chris Holtmann was ejected.
Ohio State men's basketball coach Chris Holtmann's full press conference following a 65-60 loss to Wisconsin on Feb. 2, 2023.The problem with a free fall is that the object falling doesn't know where the bottom is until contact is made.Riding a two-game losing streak and a longer stretch of seven losses in eight games, the embattled Buckeyes returned to the friendly confines of Value City Arena in search of a palette-cleanser.
Zed Key pulled the Buckeyes within two possessions with a basket with 3:08 left, and a Justice Sueing jumper made it 62-58 with a little more than a minute to play. Then, with 30 seconds left, he scored and drew contact but missed the free throw to get Ohio State within 62-60. Wisconsin took the lead on the opening possession, and when Max Klesmit hit a 3-pointer to make it 8-0 only 1:33 into the game, Holtmann called timeout to address a few things with his players. It briefly stemmed the tide, and when freshman Brice Sensabaugh scored eight straight points the Buckeyes tied the game with 16:13 to play. Wisconsin immediately reclaimed it on the next possession on a jumper from Chucky Hepburn, and the Badgers would steadily build from there.
