Falling off
That Ohio State got this far was in many ways a testament to the level at which graduate transfer Keyshawn Woods played down the stretch. In his final five games leading into the Houston game, Woods had averaged 15.4 points to help the Buckeye secure their postseason bid.
It was harder going against the Cougars, however. After playing all but 35 seconds of the win against the Cyclones two days prior, Woods finished with 10 points in 36:12 but was only 4 for 11 from the floor and 1 for 5 from three-point range.
As the game wound down, he seemed to be running out of gas. It was a notion he didn’t necessarily agree with, but not one he entirely disputed, either.
“Here and there, maybe,” he said. “I don’t know, maybe, but more importantly, I let my team down today. That’s part of the reason why (we lost).”
How did he feel he let his team down?
“I didn’t play to my best potential, and I feel like if I play to my best potential we don’t lose that game, and that’s on both ends,” he said. “I put that on me, and I told them that if I played better on both ends, we win that game.”
