ANALYSIS:
Ohio State is one of the teams in the upper echelon of college basketball this year. Ranked 15th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 24-11. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 14) in the Big Ten (average ranking 56.1).

Ohio State will create problems for opponents with their extremely prolific offense. Scoring roughly 114 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, the squad is rated #14 in offensive efficiency. Ohio State is an outstanding shooting team, capable of converting from a variety of locations on the floor and ranking in the top-50 in each of our four most noteworthy field goal categories. They make 37.6% of their three-pointers (42nd in the nation), 39.6% of their mid-range jumpers (22nd), 65.7% of their near-proximity chances (21st), and 48.3% of their total shots from the field (14th) vs. AO. Ohio State also does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.9% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 17th nationally).

Ohio State plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 34th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 92 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Ohio State thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked 21st in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.73. Ohio State also does a pretty solid job avoiding careless fouls and minimizing opponents' opportunities from the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 24.27 vs. AO, they are currently rated 29th in the country in that category.

Ohio State has definitely not been as efficient as of late compared to earlier in the season and, consequently, the team is nationally ranked third from the bottom in positive momentum. Ohio State is also one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 42nd in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm. On the road, Ohio State performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked fourth from the bottom in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
