Ohio State cliff notes game plan
If it worked the first time around, why not go back to it? Well, aside from the sixteen turnovers that is. The Boilermakers pressure the ball really well and forced more turnovers in the Big Ten than any other team. In Columbus, OSU fell prey to a slew of turnovers but shared the ball with balance that resulted in a good shooting night.
Ohio State answers a mini 6-0 Purdue run with threes from Kaleb Wesson and Luther Muhammad, and it's back to a 15-point lead for the #Buckeyes with 8:21 to play.

Chris Holtmann and staff often pulled Wesson out on the perimeter to open up driving lanes and post-ups from other players, and went with the guy with the best matchup and shot. The same should apply here.
On defense, there’s no need to get fancy, and there’s not one player that demands significant game-planning around. Each defender has to play solid defense on his own man, help out, then rebound like crazy.
