The Buckeye losing streak extends to four games as Rutgers outlasts Ohio State in overtime, 68-64.

Both teams shot under 30% from the field in a low-scoring opening period that featured plenty of ugly offense. Ohio State’s bench production made the difference as it outscored Rutgers’ reserves 16-0 to help the Buckeyes hold onto a 23-20 lead at the intermission.Omoruyi picked up his third foul in the opening minutes, but that didn’t stop the Scarlet Knights from rattling off five straight points to tie the game, 25-all, at the 18:27 mark.

After struggling to score early, Sensabaugh got going with five quick points on back-to-back buckets to put Ohio State up six points, 44-38, on the heels of a 9-0 run. The game went back and forth after that as both sides traded leads over the next several minutes. Sensabaugh tied it up in the final minute, and both teams missed a final shot to win the game in regulation.Sean McNeil fouled out in the first 20 seconds of the extra period, but upon checking in thereafter, Key gave Ohio State a one-point edge on a layup. Less than a minute later, Rutgers’ Cam Spencer took the lead right back with a two-point make of his own.

The Buckeyes employed a new starting lineup against the Scarlet Knights with Bruce Thornton, Sean McNeil, Isaac Likekele, Justice Sueing and Felix Okpara getting the nod.

Holtman coaching this team is 🗑️. End of the Thad era would be a slight upgrade... & He got forced out 4 this Dude? Smh... Tell they 🏀 ain't the 🍞&🧈. Day is gone if he have another year 2 max like these last 2.

They have regressed or stayed the same throughout Holtmann's time. Haven't even made it past first weekend in tourney. Maybe it is time for a change.

😡

Gene Smith just gave Holtmann another extension!!!

Alot of Ohio talent in the next few years coming up. We going to waste it all keeping “Mr. Nice Guy” Holtmann? The program is stale even with good recruiting classes.

Sad for the players. I think they are better tha that

Year 6 and this is where Holtmann has this team in a bad B1G. Move on from this guy.

Holtmann and Day are consultants on Alabama and Georgia staffs…. tier2

Every January it seems

Time to clean the swamp

Meanwhile Ohio State Women’s Basketball OhioStateWBB is 18-0…ranked 3rd in the country. They were last years big ten champs. They should be receiving MAJOR love! They’re playing at home this Thursday night against Northwestern by the way….

We saw them when they played Rutgers at home and they got lucky with the last second buzzer beater. This time just can't get it together down the stretch.

Holtmann

Holtman ain’t it.

😫

Didnt even watch because this outcome was inevitable....only surprising thing that it went to overtime

Fire the fucking guy already.

I watched Xavier Marquette game before. Wow. What of difference in every part of the game.

Another Chris Holtman abysmal coaching performance. Why not call a TO before end of regulation when you have chance to win?!

Holtmann = 🤡

Holtmann needs to go No BigTen titles and hasn’t made it to the Sweet 16 with a ton of star power

Rutgers gave a damn on defense and rebounding. Really bad seeing the same crap out of UPPERCLASSMEN. This is gonna be an NIT at best

Time for ChrisHoltmann to go. He’s not an elite coach and is only getting worse. Guess it’ll take a losing season for OSU_AD to make the move.

PLS FIRE HOLT

Middle school ball

I don’t where it went off the tracks but this team has looked lost the last three times on the floor.

Make the call

Think it’s time for Holtmann to go….bring in Dennis gates former CSU coach

Fire Holtmann

I just can’t watch them anymore as long as Holtman is still there.

Holtmann has to go

Thanks Gene for extending Holtmann. Really proving to be a top coach. Bucks deserve a better coach. Chris is a mid major coach that isn’t going to win anything at OSU. Good man, but just an average coach.

Good to see they are collapsing now instead of March. Saves me time.

ANNUALLY bro, the FADE is ANNUAL

I don’t watch basketball, but hearing about these games is painful

How hot is Holtmanns seat getting?

The fact that we had the ball with 20 seconds left in regular time and a timeout wasn’t called to draw something up. Embarrassing. This team is horribly coached.

Don't worry, Holtmann just needs to get his recruiting class 😂😂😂

FireHoltmann or please just resign

hey quick question! If you have a timeout and the game is tied with 10 seconds left do you take it or do you let your guys take an off balance banked 3? fire Holtmann now OSU_AD.

Holtman serving up free Holtman specials every January, all month long!

Time to clean house .

Chris Holtmann is LOST

Ohio State got praise from KD and immediately started sucking at basketball

than god i don’t care about basketball because being an OSU basketball fan seems painful

Holtman’s time is up!

How many close, winnable games have to be lost before someone with power realizes that Chris Holtmann is just not capable of doing this job? This is a business, and he is not getting it done. Get rid of him.

fireholtmann

Fire Holtman now. What a joke.

Holtmann stans lets hear the excuses!
