ANALYSIS:
Ohio State is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. They have a record of 21-14 and are ranked 102nd overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #10 team (out of 14) in the Big Ten (average ranking 84.0).

Ohio State will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 65th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Ohio State will take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They're most likely to shut you down inside the three-point arc, considering the team limits AO to converting just 32.5% of their mid-range jumpers (42nd in the nation), 54.9% of their near-proximity chances (50th), and 40.3% of their total shots from the field (40th).

Ohio State is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 145th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 103 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Ohio State fares better than most teams when it comes to converting from locations close to the basket. The team is ranked 63rd in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 63.6% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

Ohio State has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 308th in the country in positive momentum. On the road, Ohio State performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked 341st in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
