The Ohio State Buckeyes, ranked 2nd, delivered an impressive performance against the unranked Nebraska Cornhuskers with a final score of 80-47. The Buckeyes now stand with an enhanced record, while the Cornhuskers face another setback in their season tally.
The game at Value City Arena was a showcase of Ohio State's offensive and defensive coordination. The home team outperformed the Cornhuskers in almost every aspect of the game. With a field goal percentage of 48, compared to Nebraska's 36, and shooting 51 percent from two-point range, Ohio State displayed efficient scoring throughout the match. Their three-point attempts were also successful with a commendable accuracy rate of 43 percent.
Defensively, Ohio State was relentless. They amassed an impressive total of 15 steals which contributed to their significant advantage in points off turnovers: they scored 29 points from this avenue alone. This defensive pressure caused Nebraska to turn over the ball on numerous occasions – totaling at 30 for the game – which stifled any momentum they might have hoped to build.
Ohio State also excelled in ball distribution with a total of 19 assists; this teamwork led to an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.58 indicating their effective ball handling and decision-making during play.
