You hear every coach that plays against the Buckeyes point it out almost immediately. The physicality of this OSU team can be hard to handle. Ohio State isn’t the tallest or most physically imposing team in the league, but it plays a tough, physical brand that can equalize a lot of teams that like to get up and down the court.
We saw the Rutgers’ players get frustrated in this one and it threw the rhythm of its offense off for long stretches. That’s the identity of this team, and with the depth that it has, it’s the way things have to be going forwards as well.
