Ohio State begins its three-game homestand to finish out the regular season with a rescheduled rematch against Nebraska at 7 p.m. tonight. https://t.co/fDKiBsROM8— Eleven Warriors (@11W) March 1, 2022
Ohio State center Zed Key is out tonight against Nebraska. Guard Meechie Johnson will not be in his fast mask tonight for the first time in weeks. No other new additions to the #Buckeyes' availability report.— Patrick Murphy (@_Pat_Murphy) March 1, 2022
Trailing at the half against this team? Holtmann has struggled during his time at Ohio State with getting his teams to maintain their consistency........ 27 losses to unranked teams.......
Malaki Branham stayed down for awhile after taking this shot from Jamari Wheeler at the end of the half. Branham eventually got up and walked off on his own, but that was a nasty collision. pic.twitter.com/77pwzxfDDh— Bill Landis (@BillLandis25) March 2, 2022
Got a feeling these guys are going to loose the rest of the way. What the hell happened? These guys beat Duke for crying out loud. Out of gas? That's on the freakin conditioning staff. This team now has No heart. Where's Mata? Nebraska? Really?
Nebraska stuns Ohio State at home as the 15-point underdog pulls a 78-70 upset win at the Schottenstein Center. https://t.co/IlGVMhHKHh— Eleven Warriors (@11W) March 2, 2022
Lacking energy and defensive effort, No. 23 Ohio State was upset for the second consecutive game, falling 78-70 to Big Ten bottom feeder Nebraska Tuesday. https://t.co/ENy9GtxZQ2— Lantern Sports (@LanternSports) March 2, 2022
Rock bottom?No. 23 #Buckeyes with their worst regular-season loss of the Chris Holtmann era, a 78-70 home loss to a 2-16 Nebraska team in Big Ten play.Quick recap: https://t.co/AHR4GYniBC— Adam Jardy (@AdamJardy) March 2, 2022
Here are my thoughts last night......... Nice guy. I do want our coach to be nice. https://t.co/xU3a9Sn2Tl— OSUBasketballJunkie (@ScarletBuckeye2) March 2, 2022 As you are the head coach that seems appropriate. 46 days to the spring game. https://t.co/C6g6xkFsJ7— OSUBasketballJunkie (@ScarletBuckeye2) March 2, 2022 With all due respect, is coach Holtmann the best Ohio State can get with the facilities and resources the University has? What are the expectations of the program? I think five years in, Ohio State knows the ceiling of the program and is satisfied. Fans are not.— OSUBasketballJunkie (@ScarletBuckeye2) March 2, 2022 He won’t get anything accomplished with the incoming class. Just not a top college coach. Love the person. Not impressed with his teams lack of physical play, poor execution and inconsistency each year. Lower your expectations as this is the ceiling for his program. https://t.co/x36FF6rDIB— OSUBasketballJunkie (@ScarletBuckeye2) March 2, 2022 We most likely will need a few more of these for Ohio State to even discuss the basketball program. So sad to see the program continue to be so inconsistent. https://t.co/0HHy5RXRVs— OSUBasketballJunkie (@ScarletBuckeye2) March 2, 2022 If they wanted to actually compete for the conference and more, they should give it serious discussion. However they are fine with the status quo. The lack of excitement in the program is relevant. https://t.co/Hcn09CuYrN— OSUBasketballJunkie (@ScarletBuckeye2) March 2, 2022 Trademark of a Holtmann team. Lack of execution down the stretch consistently https://t.co/FPzRr8qWcl— OSUBasketballJunkie (@ScarletBuckeye2) March 2, 2022 Head coach is responsible for the recruiting. Regardless of why, to many embarrassing losses and this one is near or at the top. His time has been just to inconsistent, especially late in the season each year. https://t.co/OpRNrc0ysj— OSUBasketballJunkie (@ScarletBuckeye2) March 2, 2022 Holtmann has been defined during his time at Ohio State for losing to some very below average teams. Working on loss 28 to an unranked team and quite possibly the worst loss of his time in Columbus.— OSUBasketballJunkie (@ScarletBuckeye2) March 2, 2022
