We at least saw Ohio State be more aggressive and assertive
It’s still too many, but you can at least live with some of the turnovers if it’s at the expense of trying to be aggressive and assertive at the right moment. We saw a little more of that today. Rather than Ohio State sitting back and letting teams come after it, there was more pushing of the action and playing with purpose.
Ohio State now has its first lead of the game after a D.J. Carton free throw. Great effort here to just keep playing in the midst of chaos early.

That went away a little in the second half, but there was a bit more of that confidence and killer instinct we saw earlier in the year when the Buckeyes came back in the first half. In the end, it was still a stinging loss, but there are some good signs with what looked like a little better mindset.
