Harkening back to Chris Holtmann's second and third seasons in Columbus, the basketball Buckeyes took on water in January losing seven of nine contests.
A fitting end to January unfolded last night in Assembly Hall as Chris Holtmann's basketball Buckeyes collapsed at the end of the first half en route to a 16-point loss.
The cold reality is the Buckeyes are staring down the barrel of failing to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in Holtmann's tenure if things don't pivot quickly. Up until now, fans could count on his program to at least make the field even if making the second weekend proved elusive. Now, Ohio State has a ton of work to do to make the field.
While missing an opportunity to take down No. 1 was a gut punch, the next two games were haymakers as Ohio State led Maryland by five at halftime before being outscored by 12 in the second half to drop a very winnable road game. A new low occurred the next time out as the Buckeyes dropped a 70-67 contest at home to KenPom's then-No. 193 ranked Minnesota.
Making adjustments at halftime and winning the second half also proved a tall task. Ohio State was outscored in the final 20 minutes in seven of nine January contests for a total deficit of 26 points. That number received a boost with the Buckeyes posting a 14-point second half edge in the win over Iowa. Ohio State and Indiana each scored 40 points in last night's double-digit OSU loss.
