Ohio State's Issues Defending 3-Point Shots Continued To Mount In Loss To Wisconsin

Chris Holtmann didn’t need anybody to remind him of the statistic.

Standing just hallway taking him to the visiting locker room at Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Tuesday, he knew it off the top of his head. How could he not? Ohio State ranked – and still ranks – dead last in the Big Ten.

“I'm sure we're going to be 14th again in 3-point field-goal percentage defense,” Holtmann said. “They were 10-of-31. We'll be right back at the bottom there.”

He was right. Ohio State’s players and coaches woke up the next morning still ranked last in the Big Ten in 3-point defense.
