Wisconsin is still trying to find itself. The team hasn’t done much of anything particularly well aside from play solid defense. But Ohio State can’t lose its focus. It has to be patient on the offensive end.
The Badgers don’t give up a whole lot of easy baskets and won’t allow too many run-outs either. Ohio State will have to get into half-court sets and run its offense — taking advantage of matchups it identifies within the flow of structure.
On defense, it should be a standard man-to-man approach with little help other than if the ball gets down on the blocks. The Badgers only have two guys averaging in double figures and don’t shoot the ball particularly well either. There will probably be a focus on limiting the looks in the lane, while playing allowing outside, contested shooting.
It won’t be pretty, but discipline is the name of the game in this one.
