Ohio State’s Offense Continues to Struggle at the Rim

To say Ohio State has struggled shooting the basketball since Jan. 5 would be an understatement.

Whether it's from beyond the arc, inside the arc, inside the paint or anywhere in between, the Buckeyes have been inefficient offensively, leading to losses in 11 of their last 12 games. Its struggles at the rim have been particularly profound lately, as Chris Holtmann's squad has progressively gotten worse at making close-range shots over the course of the season.

In November, the Buckeyes shot 80.6% at the rim. That percentage has decreased in every subsequent month since, leading to Ohio State shooting just 46.
