The Ohio State basketball team finally experienced the sweet taste of victory in 2020. It had lost four games in a row and looked like a shell of itself against West Virginia and once the Big Ten teams started elbowing their way into the schedule.
What’s a bit ironic is that the Buckeyes did it as a shell of itself — with two starting guards missing from the lineup. Both Luther Muhammad and Duane Washington, Jr, were suspended prior to the game for “failure to meet program standards and expectations.”
The team responded and hit the Cornhuskers on the chin with the Buckeyes separating early and rolling the rest of the way through the remainder of the game. It all led to an impressive 80-68 win in front of the home crowd.
Here are three things we learned.
