Ohio State took better care of the ball
It’s still not where you’d want things, but experiencing twelve turnovers as opposed to an average of sixteen over the last few games is more like it — especially against a Nebraska team that works really hard to create chaos and pressure on the defensive end.
It’s hard to figure out why the ball security and care are better in some games and not others, but hopefully this is the start of a good trend towards maximizing possessions and not giving the opposition run-outs and easy baskets on the other end.
Also worth noting is the assist-to-turnover ration. A 17:12 ratio speaks volumes for this team working together better and working within the flow of things.

Kaleb Wesson having four turnovers is still a concern though. He sure brings a lot to the table, and if he can start to cut down on offensive fouls and issues when getting double-teamed, everything will be all the better.
