How Ohio State "Blitzes" to Disrupt High Ball Screens

Despite Sunday's loss in East Lansing, the Ohio State basketball team remains a top-10 team.

You're probably wondering how I could possibly be confusing the 19th spot in the AP poll as being inside the top ten, or why I'm not just writing about football like usual. I can't blame you for either point. But with Chris Holtmann's team entering postseason play, now seems as good a time as any to examine how they've maintained the eighth spot in the KenPom ratings despite an up-and-down, 21-10 record.

Though the Buckeyes have been above-average in a number of the areas that factor into Ken Pomeroy's algorithm, their ability to stop opposing two-point field goals has been among the nations' best this season.
