Ohio State gets back to their winning ways, beats Indiana, 71-56

Balanced attack for the Buckeyes get them their 10th Big Ten win of the year.

In a battle of first-year, Big Ten coaches, the No. 17 Ohio State Buckeyes knocked off the Indiana Hoosiers, 71-56 at the Value City Arena. There is a different timeline out there in which OSU athletic director Gene Smith decided to fire Thad Matta earlier than he eventually did, and Archie Miller ended up the new Buckeye coach, instead of taking over the Hoosiers, paving the way for Chris Holtmann to come to Columbus. At this point, you would likely be hard-pressed to find many Buckeye fans who don’t prefer our current reality to what might have been.

Tonight’s matchup of supposed rivals showed the best of Ohio State so far this season, as multiple players were involved from very early on; the team collectively shot extremely well, and the ball movement continually kept the IU defense on its heels, and the ball in the hands of the Buckeye with the best chance to score.

Nearly everything was working early for OSU. On the strength of a 10-0 run, Ohio State went into the first media timeout up 14-5. Jae’Sean Tate led the way with six early points, and Keita Bates-Diop had already picked up a bucket, two assists, a rebound, and a blocked shot.

The unselfishness that the team showed allowed seven Buckeyes to get into the scoring column in the first nine minutes of the game. Sophomore forward Micah Potter appeared to finally be healthy and playing at the level that many people had hoped he could reach after an up-and-down freshman campaign.


Potter picked up an old-fashioned three-point play just before the halfway point in the first half, which gave Ohio State a 25-10 lead. A little more than a minute later, Tate hit a jumper that hit the rim about five times before falling to give the Bucks a second 10-0 run of the game.

However, the streak was broken on the subsequent possession by Indiana’s Justin Smith who was fouled in the act, but was unable to hit the ensuing free-throw.

Ohio State seemed intent to get the ball inside to Kaleb Wesson in the first half, running sets specifically to set him up 1-on-1 down low. Wesson picked up 10 points in his first 10 minutes of action on 5-for-5 shooting, while also picking up three boards and only one foul.

IU’s Juwan Morgan was nearly singlehandedly keeping the Hoosiers in the game. The junior had 11 points, three boards, and two assists in the first half.

With just over a minute left, Andre Wesson delivered an over-head, two-handed pass to C.J. Jackson in the corner, who then hit a three to put OSU up 38-23, forcing Miller to call a timeout to get the best shot possible. However, after a tie-up gave possession back to the Hoosiers, Zach McRoberts missed a jumper, giving the ball back to the home team. But, the missed opportunities continued—this time, after a timeout, with just seconds left before halftime, Andrew Dakich threw the ball away cross court as Jackson broke back towards the inbounder, but ultimately away from the ball, which bounced out of bounds.

Fortunately for the Buckeyes, the Hoosiers weren’t able to capitalize, and the teams went into the locker room at 38-23. Morgan led all scorers with 11 of his team’s 23 points in the half. Robert Johnson, who is IU’s second leading scorer on the season, did not score in the first 20 minutes, going 0-for-3.

Kaleb Wesson was the top man for the Buckeyes, but Tate also had eight, and Bates-Diop and Jackson each had six. The real difference in the half was the shooting, as OSU was 17-27 (63%), while the Hoosiers were just 9-27 (33.3%). The Buckeyes also maintained a healthy lead in rebounding (19-10), and perhaps because of that, out-scored Indiana 22-12 in the paint in the first half.

During a timeout in the first half, members of the Ohio State football team were on hand to be recognized.

The second half started much like most of the first, as OSU got two quick buckets, both layups from Tate. Then after a Morgan bucket, Kaleb Wesson hit Kam Williams on a back cut before the guard slammed it home.


After a pair of IU buckets, Williams and Potter hit back-to-back three-pointers to give Ohio State a 20-point lead, 52-32. With around 13 minutes left in the game, Bates-Diop went to the locker room after appearing to stretch his left groin. However, the balanced attack that the Buckeyes had been employing all game kept them in a fairly sizable lead during KBD’s short absence.


In recent games, Bates-Diop has started slow fairly regularly. However, in most cases, he turns it on late in the game, especially when the outcome is in doubt. KBD has been dealing with illness and now apparently a groin issue, but thus far, he has been able to maintain his lead in the Big Ten scoring race.

The Hoosiers continued to fight, trying to claw back into the game, however, they have been let down at the charity stripe, where they went 2-7 through the first 15 and a half minutes in the second half, which only exacerbated the shooting issues that they were experiencing from the floor.

Devonte Green hit a triple with 3:05 left in regulation that brought the Buckeye advantage to 63-51, however, a pair of free-throws and a layup by Jackson kept the home team in the lead for the duration.

While he didn’t get up to the 19.9 that he’s been averaging this season, Bates-Diop did get into double figures with an emphatic slam with 1:35 left, just moments before picking up his fourth blocked shot of the game on an Aljami Durham three-pointer. With a game-high 12 rebounds on the night, KBD picked up his ninth double-double of the season.

Four Buckeyes ended up scoring in double-digits, Tate (16), Kaleb Wesson (14), Bates-Diop (13), and Jackson (10). Conversely, Green led all scorers with 20 points, 15 of which he had after halftime. Morgan, who dominated the first 20 minutes for IU had only four after the break.

Ohio State ended the night with 40 points in the paint and 39 rebounds, while the Hoosiers had 26 in both categories.

The Buckeyes will wrap up a four-game home stand on Sunday, Feb. 4 at noon ET against the Illinois Fighting Illini. The game will be broadcast on FS1.

Ohio State’s Chris Holtmann might have a natural rival with Indiana’s Archie Miller
Ian Cuevas via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


With the progression of their careers and how they ended up at their jobs, Holtmann and Miller have a lot in common.

“I’m gonna leave that to fans of both programs. My responsibility is to coach these guys as well as I can. I try not to worry about any other program, or compare myself to what anybody else is doing, or how they’re doing. There are three new coaches in the league this year. So to some degree you recognize that there’s always gonna be some comparison when you have three new coaches: How are they doing? What’s their year shaped up like? I’m sure that will continue in the years to come.”

- Chris Holtmann via Bill Landis, Cleveland.com


A new rivalry may be brewing in Columbus. The men’s basketball team plays against Indiana tonight, which has always been a case for a good game. But it has a little more meaning this season and for future seasons, too. Holtmann hails from Butler as his previous destination while Archie Miller, the Hoosiers’ head coach, was previously at Dayton. On top of that, Miller was a fan favorite pick to replace Thad Matta as the Buckeyes’ head coach. Of course, timing didn’t help out Ohio State and Miller ended up at Indiana in a move that had many Hoosiers fans excited.

Nearly to the end of the season now, Ohio State is sitting among the top shelf of Big Ten teams while the Hoosiers are sitting around .500. With all the turnover in the coaching staffs across the Big Ten, there’s a chance for new blood in terms of rivalry and Holtmann and Miller could start one over the course of the next few seasons,

“Ohio State hasn’t announced how it will replace Coombs, but the room will change. One question is whether the new coach will rotate corners the way Coombs has for the last few years, basically using three starters for his two starting spots.”

- Doug Lesmerises, Cleveland.com


The Ohio State secondary was very solid last season for the Buckeyes, helping them reach the Cotton Bowl and securing a big win over USC. With Denzel Ward moving on to the NFL, Doug Lesmerises took a look at what the cornerback situation will be for Ohio State next season. The result seemed to be looking at Kendall Sheffield and Jeffrey Okudah as the starting cornerbacks with Damon Arnette also rotating in. There’s also the matter of Kerry Coombs leaving the program to join Mike Vrabel’s staff in the NFL.

Coombs was big on rotating a lot of the secondary based off offensive formations and certain players being on wide receivers, etc. The next in line for Coomb’s position might have a different philosophy which could certainly impact how the starting spots are filled. Regardless, it seems a safe bet to have Okudah and Sheffield in the starting lineup due to their performances at the end of the season. Sheffield improved a lot over the course of the year while Okudah showed up in the Cotton Bowl and filled big shoes left by Ward.

“Michigan has been dreadful on the offensive line for a few years, an issue that hasn’t resolved itself as expected by Jim Harbaugh trying to turn the Wolverines into more of a smash-mouth, physical team in his image. ”

- Austin Ward, Land of 10


With the recent hiring of Ed Warriner by Michigan, some have to wonder if that will finally give the Wolverines a slight edge over Ohio State. Urban Meyer has yet to lose to Jim Harbaugh, but now Harbaugh has taken a former member of Meyer’s staff under his wing. Warriner spent the past season with Minnesota and is well known for his ability to get offensive line talent playing to their potential. At Ohio State, Warriner helped shape Corey Linsley, Jack Mewhort, Andrew Norwell, and Taylor Decker into NFL blockers.

Whether or not he’s able to do the same at Michigan, it’s hard to imagine Warriner being the key to defeating the Buckeyes next season, especially considering the defensive line talent that Ohio State brings back. Nick Bosa, Dre’Mont Jones, and a host of other defensive lineman talent should keep the Wolverines’ offensive line busy for much of the afternoon.
