Ohio State basketball beats North Carolina: 3 Things we learned

Ohio State rolled into Chapel Hill and put on a display that’s going to turn heads. Here’s three things we learned.

Would be nice to get Duane Washington to be more consistent

Duane Washington went out and had himself a game Wednesday night. We know what he can do filling it up from the outside, but he played more within himself in this one. At one point he hit a three, went down the court on the defensive end, grabbed the rebound, then dished out an assist up the court for a fast break bunny — all in succession.

But he’s so inconsistent. Truth be known, Ohio State won this game tonight largely because of his efforts. There’s other guys on this team that are obviously key players, but if OSU could get anything near what he did tonight with any consistency, this team is going to be a lot more dangerous — like deep, deep run in the NCAA Tournament dangerous.

He ended with eighteen points, but did a lot more tonight to take pressure off the bigs. Now, keep that going young fella.
