Keep the trending turnover decline going
During this 4 game losing streak, Ohio State has committed 64 turnovers (16/game) and has only 38 assists (9.5/game). You don’t have to be a basketball genius to understand that’s an awful ratio.

Ohio State has gone on a winning streak here because of improved play, but perhaps no area has had more to do with getting some wins than taking care of the basketball. During that extremely frustrating stretch in January, the Buckeyes were giving away more turnovers than your local bakery.
Now, all of a sudden, somehow the team has gotten much, much better with being confident and purposeful with the ball. It has started to move it around with much more conviction, seeing double teams and relocating.
Kaleb Wesson has to pass out of double teams before traffic comes, the point guards have to be strong coming up the court, and there’s simply no reason to try to make the remarkable pass. The way you beat Wisconsin is by not beating yourselves. Limiting turnovers is the most obvious way to follow that pattern.
