What we learned about Ohio State basketball’s loss to Minnesota

It feels like we keep saying it, but this loss hurts #GoBucks

This wasn’t how the Ohio State basketball team envisioned playing against a [autotag]Minnesota[/autotag] team that had yet to win a conference game this season. The Gophers battled [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] all game, and never folded and kept playing hard.

The Buckeyes wouldn’t be able to match the visitors’ energy, resulting in a third loss in a row and potentially some panic starting in Columbus. The loss sends the Buckeyes to a 10-6 record.

Head coach [autotag]Chris Holtmann[/autotag] got his starting center back, [autotag]Zed Key[/autotag] (even though he came off the bench), but it wasn’t enough for Ohio State to get back into the win column.

It obviously wasn’t all pretty for the Buckeyes and here is what we learned about their 70-67 disappointing loss to Minnesota.

What we learned about Ohio State’s rout of Alabama A&M

It was a true tale of two halves for Ohio State but they pulled out the victory and finished off the year with a 9-3 record after defeating Alabama A&M 90-59. In this game we saw the return of two Buckeyes ahead of a stretch of conference play. …

It was a true tale of two halves for Ohio State but they pulled out the victory and finished off the year with a 9-3 record after defeating Alabama A&M 90-59. In this game we saw the return of two Buckeyes ahead of a stretch of conference play.

There were plenty of good things that came with this win for Chris Holtmann and this ever improving group. The freshman continue to impress and the depth obviously increased with two Bucks competing back after time off. Here is what we learned from Ohio State’s solid win against an overmatched Alabama A&M team before the New Year’s Eve and the big game.

Ohio State basketball incoming freshmen Zed Key and Eugene Brown get their jersey numbers

Ohio State basketball announced incoming freshman Zed Key and Eugene Brown’s jersey numbers Tuesday.

Yesterday, the fine folks at Ohio State announced the jersey numbers of the three transfers that will be new to the program. Seth Towns, Abel Porter, and Jimmy Sotos now all know what they’ll be wearing at Ohio State as they transition to a new program.

The Buckeye program then doubled down today and announced the jersey numbers of incoming freshman Zed Key and Eugene Brown. They will be wearing numbers 23, and 3 respectively. The circle of basketball life is now seemingly complete on the banks of the Olentangy.

Key, a 6-foot, 7-inch center out of New York is rated as the No. 138 overall player in the 2020 class, and No. 22 center according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. At 6-foot, 6-inches, Brown is the No. 20 rated shooting guard, and 118th overall recruit in the class.

Both will be looking to make an impression this winter when they join an Ohio State team with a ton of turnover in the roster. At least they know what they’ll be wearing to do it.
