Ohio State at Penn State, Wed. 3/4, 7:30 ET on Peacock

Here's what the magic Google AI machine says....

The Big Ten Conference record for the best team field goal percentage in a single game is 73.3%.
This historic performance was achieved by Michigan in a game against Western Michigan on December 8, 1984. The Wolverines made 44 of their 60 shots to secure the record.
Other notable high-efficiency performances in Big Ten men's basketball history include:
  • 71.4%: Ohio State vs. Wisconsin, 1970 (30 of 42 field goals).
  • 71.1%: Indiana vs. Minnesota, 1982 (32 of 45 field goals).
  • 70.2%: Purdue vs. Illinois, 1990 (40 of 57 field goals).

But I gotta say, 34/51 is literally 67%....but I don't math a ton and stuff....
Those numbers are actual shooting %, and don’t have the number increased for 3-point makes.

The Buckeyes were 66.7% in regular shooting %, but 82.4 when the value of made 3-pointers is factored in.

You must have been watching. I was listening to Stokes/Keeles and it was much more numbing than "fun". Great and satisfying win by the Bucks, but it was presented to me by the lowest energy broadcast team I've ever listened to.

Keeles is always lowkey. Old school and not the fanatic that some on air people are nowadays. Plus, they're used to doing OSU basketball games in recent years.

I liked the play-by-play guy who subbed for Paul in the Pittsburgh game. He said interesting things and didn't sound like he was on autopilot. Some people prefer autopilot I suppose; to each everyone's own. Ron sounded like it was his bedtime in the 2nd half.

Kenpom ratings shot up after that domination

Before the game Ohio State was 35th with +20.00 rating and was 21st in OFF EFF and 62 in DEF EFF

Now

Ohio State is 29th with a +21.16 rating and is now 18th in OFF EFF and 54th in DEF EFF
Coming into today Ohio State is actually now up to 27th overall.

That is a heck of a move up this late in the season to go from 35th to 27th considering it was against the last place Big Ten team it just goes show that running up the score really pays off.
