Ohio State will only go as far as ball security takes it
We keep harping on it, but it’s probably the most important thing this Ohio State needs to somehow correct. Turnovers are absolutely plaguing this team, and until it finds a way to slow down giving away extra possessions, we’re going to see more and more struggles on the offensive end.
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.

The Buckeyes once again lost the turnover battle with sixteen more today. Sixteen. That is far too many to expect to win a Big Ten basketball game — especially on the road in a historically difficult place to play.
It’s everyone too. The guards, forwards, you name it. There’s just way too many careless judgments in decision with the ball. If this is what we’re going to see going forward, and is just what this team is, you can throw away expectations of a deep run in March.
