Buckeye Bench Gets Confidence Boost with Big Performance in IUPUI Blowout

One ought not mistake Ohio State’s results against one of the nation’s worst teams for particularly meaningful revelations.

“I thought Jimmy had a good practice yesterday, he’s had good practices, played well. I thought Joey Brunk did some really good things, Cedric did some good things,” Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said after the game. “In this era of COVID, you’re gonna need everybody at any time, and that’s as much as anything. You just know you’re gonna need guys. You can see it in practice, but they feel differently when they do it in games, and it gives them a different level of confidence.

“He’s got good length, he’s got a big body, he’s got a physicality to him. He’s gotta take care of the ball. When he’s struggled, he’s not always taken care of the ball. He did bring a real physicality that we needed. His ability to get on the glass is really important for our team.”“Gene’s very versatile, he can guard one through five, he’s very active on offense, cutting, rebounding, keeping possessions alive,” Sotos said.

“I just think he’s gotta continue to be really committed defensively to how we play, he’s gotta really commit himself on that end, and he’s gotta be ready when his number’s called,” Holtmann said. “I thought he had good aggressiveness tonight, a good pop to him. Listen, he’s played well in stretches in important games. In our Wisconsin win he was critical. Obviously everybody knows about the Duke game, but those two games he was really important for us.

They should play a junior high team to REALLY boost their confidence.

Huge win!
