Three things we learned from Ohio State basketball’s win over Illinois State

The Ohio State basketball team opened its 2020-2021 season Wednesday in blowout fashion vs. Illinois State. Here are 3 things we observed.

Well, hello there college basketball. We’ve missed you.

Ohio State broke the seal on its 2020-2021 season and we got our first look at what this team is made of. With so many new faces to go along with new uniforms and a long layoff because of the coronavirus pandemic, it sure felt like a completely different era in Columbus.

But Chris Holtmann is still the head coach and there is a little bit of returning talent that will get thrown into the mix. We did get to observe plenty of things during Ohio State’s 94-67 win over Illinois State and we’re got three of the biggest things we can take from what we saw from game one.

So let’s get to it. Here are three things we learned as we unwrapped the gift that is Ohio State basketball in the new season.
