Regardless of what happens in the regular season, the Buckeyes can still earn a bid by winning the Big Ten Tournament. But unless things change in a hurry, they won’t have an easy road given their 12th-place standing in the conference. With an 11-11 record overall,Now on the heels of eight losses in the past nine games, Ohio State heads to Ann Arbor for a rivalry matchup that should provide some extra incentive for improved performance.
“That's our job as coaches to figure out . That's what we're trying to do,” Chris Holtmann said after Ohio State'son Thursday. “That's what we're working hours on end to try to do. We're spending hours and hours trying to figure out what we need to do better to get our players in better position, and certainly to perform at a higher level. So if I had answers for you right now, then we might not have performed like we did.
Michigan hasn’t been much more consistent than Ohio State in Juwan Howard’s fourth year as head coach. The Wolverines are just 12-10 on the year and sit one game above .500 in conference play. Michigan hasn’t won back-to-back contests since the first week of January. Since then, it’s been defeated by Michigan State, Iowa, Maryland, Purdue and Penn State. However, the Wolverines turned in an impressive effort in their last time out, a 17-point throttling of Northwestern on the road on Thursday.
Ohio State is riding a three-game losing streak into Sunday and hasn’t won a road game in more than a month.Despite all of Ohio State’s recent struggles, it could still accomplish a historic feat on Sunday afternoon. Having won the last two matchups in Ann Arbor, a 68-57 win last February and a three-point victory in early 2020, the Buckeyes could make it three straight wins on their archrival’s home floor.
Beyond a few of Michigan’s standout performers, not much about the Wolverines jumps off the stat sheet. Ranked 56th overall in, Michigan is 53rd in offensive efficiency and 67th on defense. In the Big Ten, Michigan is top eight in scoring, 3-point percentage and rebounds – but it ranks no higher than sixth in the conference in any of those categories. The Wolverines are second-to-last in the Big Ten with their average allowance of 69.
Not being mean but why would want to see a team this bad go into tourney and get clubbed by a 1 seed?
Something tells me that they had at least 1 or 2 1-9 stretches in the glorious Randy Ayers era!
Long past time for holtman to be fired!
PLEASE play Okpara, Key, Sueing, Sensabaugh, Likekele together! Brown backup Center.
