With only three guaranteed games remaining in his college basketball career, Jamison Battle and Ohio State are eager to welcome the madness of March.

Jamison Battle doesn’t know how much longer his college basketball career will last, but it's not long.

“It was just an urgency,” Battle said. “Obviously, Bruce wasn’t playing, and not playing last game and the way the guys picked up each other, I felt like we had to have that same type of energy. There is a sense of urgency. I’ve got three guaranteed games left of college basketball. My goal is, we’re gonna do whatever it takes to win all those games and maybe even more.”but his words speak to a team-wide mentality for Ohio State.

Interim head coach Jake Diebler said he saw Battle take charge of things even while not on the court against the Spartans. Despite missing the former Minnesota forward’s contributions, the Buckeyes pulled out a“He’s so bought-in to what we’re doing and finishing this well,” Diebler said. “I love his aggressiveness. I think I told some people during the Michigan State game, that even though he wasn’t playing, his voice was so valuable for our team.

“I thought he read the game at a really high level,” Diebler said. “He took the right shots from three, but then he also attacked when it called for it. That was probably the most impressive – him going 10-for-10 from the free-throw line was really good too – but the most impressive thing to me was his decision-making on the catch, whether to shoot it or drive it. That was high level.”
