What Jeff Borzello says about Ohio State

“Ohio State has had three of its best offensive outings of the season in the past three games, a stretch that included road wins at Rutgers and Illinois and a home win over Northwestern. All three wins have come without starting point guard CJ Walker, and the past two have come without backup point guard Jimmy Sotos. Chris Holtmann has done a terrific job keeping things ticking at that end of the floor. Duane Washington has done a lot of the ballhandling, while forward Justice Sueing has been looking to be more of a facilitator and playmaker to initiate the offense. And freshman Meechie Johnson Jr., who enrolled and started practicing only earlier this month, has given the Buckeyes some quality minutes as the team’s lone true point guard still standing.”
