WATCH: What Northwestern basketball head coach Chris Collins said about Ohio State after the game

Northwestern head coach Chris Collins discussed the win over Ohio State Saturday and had some high praise for the Buckeyes.

The Ohio State basketball team went on the road and lost a hard-fought, one-point game against the Northwestern Wildcats. It was the type of game the Buckeyes will most likely believe is one that got away. Still, you have to give the Wildcats credit for playing through adversity and making the plays down the stretch to win the game and remain unbeaten in the Big Ten.

Northwestern head coach Chris Collins met with the media after the game to discuss what he saw from his team and Ohio State, and he had some extremely flattering things to say about Chris Holtmann and the personnel of the Buckeyes.

In case you missed any of what he said, we’ve got all of his comments thanks to the YouTube channel of Northwestern Athletics. Watch the below video and listen to Collins talk about the physicality of Ohio State, how seasoned and prepared the Buckeyes are, the respect he has for Holtmann, and much more.
