Where is Ohio State basketball in the latest Joe Lunardi Bracketology

After four-straight losses, you might be surprised where Joe Lunardi has Ohio State basketball in his latest Bracketology projection.

Joe Lunardi has released his latest Bracketology, and he still has a reeling Ohio State basketball squad pretty high on the seeding line. In fact, according to the ESPN master of NCAA tournament projections, he’s got the Buckeyes still on the No. 4 seed line.

While many would argue with that, there is still a very good body of work that will play well to any committee looking to put a field together. There’s the win over Cincinnati to start the year, a win over a top ten Villanova, a road victory over North Carolina, and a neutral court win over Kentucky that will probably look even better by the end of the year.

Now, before you celebrate, obviously Ohio State has to find a way to get back to the good basketball it was playing last year, and — the latest Bracketology came out before the loss at Indiana.

Regardless, for those of you that think the Buckeyes are in a free-fall, there’s still a lot to be positive about. Now, about those turnovers …

Watch what Indiana head coach Archie Miller said about Ohio State postgame

Indiana head coach Archie Miller met with the media after the win over Ohio State. Here’s what he said about the Buckeyes.

Ohio State fought like heck to get back in the game in the first half against Indiana Saturday, but then fell behind again after halftime. It was a bit too much to overcome against a quality opponent on the road.

Many Ohio State fans feel like the sky is falling now after four-straight losses, but this conference is awfully tough, and there’s not a night off anywhere. The Hoosier head man knows that. Archie Miller met with the media after the game to discuss his team’s performance — and despite the loss by Ohio State — had some very complimentary things to say about coach Holtmann and this Buckeye squad.

You too can watch and get a listen to make you feel like the season isn’t lost after a tough stretch here. I mean, who better to listen to than a coach that knows the Buckeyes well.

Chris Holtmann met with the media after Ohio State lost its fourth-straight. Watch what he said following the loss to Indiana.

Ohio State lost its fourth-straight game, this time on the road to a motivated and hungry Indiana team. There were moments in which the Buckeyes seemed to play much smarter and more aggressive than the last few, but the second half was much more of the same.

Ohio State basketball loses to Indiana. Three things we learned.

Ohio State dropped its fourth in a row after a second-half collapse at Indiana. Here’s three things we think we learned.

Another game in the Big Ten, another loss for Ohio State. In a contest the Buckeyes desperately needed, they couldn’t finish the deal and lost on the road to Indiana 66-54.

The Hoosiers used a spurt at the beginning of both halves to gain separation. OSU was able to claw all the way back in the first twenty minutes, but couldn’t do it in the last twenty because of some poor shooting.

It was a little better showing than the last couple of games, but a loss is still a loss, and now you have to wonder how a team with so much promise will find a way to get back to its winning ways. The team now drops to 11-5 overall, and a very surprising 1-4 in the Big Ten.

As usual, here are three things we learned.

Ohio State absorbs Indiana hot start, leads at halftime 34-31

Ohio State had to absorb a hot shooting start by Indiana but reeled the game back in and now lead by three at halftime in Bloomington.

Ohio State went into Bloomington and had to absorb a white-hot start by Indiana. The Hoosiers came out on fire and went up by nine-points mid-way through the first 20 minutes thanks to some hot shooting. But the Buckeyes have shown more assertiveness and composure than the last few games. They kept playing defense, kept creating their own luck and went into halftime up 34-31.

Andre Wesson kept Ohio State in the game early when Indiana was seemingly making everything — splashing its first 8 of 11 shots. He leads all scorers with 10 points at the half. D.J. Carton and Kaleb Wesson each chipped in 7 points apiece.

But one half does not make a game. The Buckeyes will have to continue to play hard, smart and keep their composure in a place that is historically tough to play in. You can bet that Indiana will make a couple of runs here in the second twenty minutes at home. Off to the second half.

Ohio State forward Kyle Young back in the lineup, starts against Indiana

Ohio State forward Kyle Young is back from injury and was plugged into the starting lineup against Indiana.

He was to be a game-time decision, and it appears as though the decision was to start Ohio State forward Kyle Young against Indiana today. It was obvious pregame during warm-ups that Young was able to do quite a bit, then when the starting lineup was announced and trotted out, what many would consider the glue of this team stepped out among the five to start things off in Bloomington.

Young had been dealing with fatigue, pain, and a lack of conditioning as a result of having to an appendectomy the night after the West Virginia game. During his absence, the Buckeyes lost two-straight and seemed to lack the killer instinct and confidence that defined it early in the year.

We’ll see how much Young can go today, but having him back in the lineup can hopefully provide a boost for a team that sorely needs it.

Ohio State (11-4, 1-3) is in quite a rut. Once ranked as high as No. 2 in the country, the team comes in having lost to West Virginia, Wisconsin and Maryland. However, two of the three were ranked. In Tuesday’s game against No. 12 Maryland, the Buckeyes lost 67-55. Three players scored in double digits, with Kaleb Wesson leading the way with 15 points and nine rebounds. Andre Wesson and DJ Carton also had 14 points.

It’s been an up and down few weeks for Indiana (12-3, 2-2). Following three straight wins before Christmas, the Hoosiers lost 71-64 to Arkansas at home and then 75-59 on the road to Maryland. On Wednesday against Northwestern, who is just 5-9 on the season, the Hoosiers just squeaked by, winning 66-62. Indiana outscored Northwestern by seven points in the second half and had as big as a 10-point lead in the first half. The Hoosiers squandered that lead by committing 11 turnovers and went into halftime trailing by three. The Hoosiers were led by Trayce Jackson-Davis, who scored 21 points. Justin Smith also had 18 points, while Aljami Durham had 16 points.

Ohio State vs. Indiana 2019 basketball game preview and prediction

The Ohio State basketball team hits the road to take on Indiana. What will happen? Who is the key player for the Buckeyes? Get it all here.

The Ohio State basketball ball team needs a win in the worst way. After getting out of the game with some mighty impressive wins, it has fallen into a bit of a downward spiral. The Buckeyes have lost three games in a row, and four of the last six. Now it has to go on the road again and try to fight through the doubt and environment to get back into the winning column.

But it won’t be easy.

Playing at Assembly Hall in Bloomington is never easy especially with what has to be a team with a very fragile psyche in tow. Add that to the fact that the Buckeyes have ruined the day of Indiana over the last couple of years, and this one will be a challenge.

Getting out of a funk won’t be easy by any means.

Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann previews the Indiana Hoosiers

Ohio State head basketball coach Chris Holtmann met with reporters on Friday to preview the Indiana game. Watch what he had to say.

Ohio State will try to put a stop to a three-game losing streak when it travels to Bloomington, Indiana to take on the Hoosiers. Despite a fantastic start to the 2019-2020 campaign, the Buckeyes have hit a serious skid as of late and are all of a sudden in dire straights to get things corrected before the Big Ten race gets away from them.

Head coach Chris Holtmann met with the media in Columbus Friday to preview the matchup. The last two times OSU has traveled to Bloomington the game has come down to the very last minute, and there’s no doubt both teams will be hungry and motivated in this one.

Click on the below and listen to Holtmann’s comments in their entirety. He provides a health update on Kyle Young, talks about freshman growing pains, the continued search for offense and confidence, and more.

Ohio State forward Kyle Young will be a game time decision at Indiana Saturday

Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann met with the media Friday ahead of the game at Indiana and provided a status of forward Kyle Young.

Ohio State basketball is hoping to get forward Kyle Young back, but exactly when is still unknown. Head coach Chris Holtmann met with the media Friday ahead of the showdown with Indiana in Bloomington Saturday and said the Young will be a game-time decision.

“As far as Kyle’s concerned, it’s going to be really to be up until game-time,” said Holtmann. “He was able to do a few more things yesterday, and he was able to move and do some things, but it’s probably too early to determine exactly what his status is going to be. He’s more ready to play than he was the other night, so we’ll see. A lot of it has to do with just the normal fatigue level that you have when you have your appendix taken out. He’ll kind of be a game-time decision.”

If you’ve watched the Buckeyes over the last couple of games, it should be clear that Young’s absence means quite a bit. The team is missing one of its main guys that has an all-around floor game. He gets rebounds, plays good interior post defense, and can get some of the ugly, scrappy points that are so important in Big Ten play.

For now though, we’ll just have to wait to see if he is healthy enough to go without putting him in further jeopardy. The last thing the coaching and medical staff once to do is put him in a position where his body doesn’t respond like it should, resulting in further harm.
