Ohio State squandered several chances to salt the game away.

About 30 minutes after Ohio State was stunned at the buzzer by the Pitt Panthers, both head coaches — Jake Diebler and Jeff Capel — spoke to the media about the final play and the 45 minutes of basketball that preceded it.

Capel said his team didn’t do a good enough job against the Buckeye guards in the first half, but that Papa Kante’s effort in the second half was the driving force behind Pitt’s big comeback. He said that they assumed Ohio State would send a lot of attention toward Jaland Lowe on the final possession, which opened up a shot for Zack Austin.

Diebler said Ohio State practices end-of-game situations like the one they saw Friday night every single day at practice. The difference, he said, was that Ohio State did not execute the situation correctly in-game. Micah Parrish “switched too low” which allowed Pitt to get an open look at the very end.

Bruce Thornton pointed to second-chance points and missing free throws as the reason the Buckeyes lost.
