The Buckeyes finished this game extremely poorly
Look, you have to give Michigan some credit for the way things finished in this game, but there’s some blame to go around for Ohio State for sure. Turnovers, not boxing out, and a lack of offensive continuity at the end of this game made all the difference between winning and losing.
The game was a nip and tuck affair, and there’s a fine line between winning and losing in this league. There was about a four or five-minute stretch late in the game where OSU got disjointed and weak with the basketball and Michigan took advantage.
I’m sure Ohio State is kicking itself for the way things got away at the end, and now hopefully the Buckeyes can learn from it.
