Ohio State was efficient on both ends of the court in the first half against Minnesota Thursday. The second half was a different story with the Buckeyes once again having problems scoring and the Gophers fought back to pull out a 62-59 win.
What was a bit surprising is that it took a full half for Minnesota head coach Richard Pitino and his players to figure out what Ohio State wanted to do on offense.
The Buckeyes haven’t been pushing the ball up the floor looking for fast break opportunities very often, just to set their offense up quickly.
