Ohio State loses battle to Michigan on the court. Three takeaways.

Ohio State battled hard but lost a close contest to No. 3 Michigan on Sunday. Here are three takeaways from what we saw on the court Sunday.

Heads up Buckeye fans. Ohio State is still good enough for a deep March run

Yeah, this loss stings, especially seeing how it’s clear the Buckeyes can matchup with the Wolverines. But don’t fret yet because there’s still plenty of season left. There is of course the Big Ten Tournament to look forward to, but beyond that, this team has the depth and talent to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

You never want to settle for a consolation prize when it comes to anything Ohio State vs. Michigan, but both teams showed us all enough today to think that they are both going to be a problem once the calendar turns to March.

NEXT … The Big Ten regular-season title is likely dead for Ohio State
