The Ohio State basketball team used a big second-half to knock off No. 11 Rutgers after getting outplayed thoroughly in the first half. It was a physical game that the Buckeyes were able to take control of because of some foul issues in the paint for the Scarlet Knights.
OSU was able to get to the free-throw line and get high percentage baskets to reel things back in, grab the lead, and ultimately take control and win comfortably in the end.
Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell met with the media afterward to discuss his team and the challenge of what Ohio State offered. If you missed any of his comments, we have them for you thanks to the YouTube Channel of Rutgers Football.
Watch the below and listen to the Rutgers head man give a lot of credit to Ohio State, talk about the physicality of the game, the respect he has for Chris Holtmann, and more.
