Ohio State has can beat you in multiple ways

You want to slow the game down against the Buckeyes? OK, there’s personnel for that. Want to speed things up and go at a frenzied pace? Fine, Ohio State can deal with that too. Go with a big lineup or a four-guard template? It doesn’t matter, because Ohio State has so many different ways it can play and be effective on the offensive end.

This Buckeye team is deep, yet has guys that can both finish in transition or work half-court sets. More than any of the last few years, knowing that this team can play against all sorts of matchups makes one believe the postseason could be a lot of fun.
