ANALYSIS:
Despite their unexceptional win percentage, Ohio State should be regarded as one of the better teams in college hoops. They have a record of 20-12 and are ranked 30th overall (out of 358) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of 14) in the Big Ten (average ranking 53.9). Sporting a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.725 (the ninth-highest in the country), Ohio State has prepared themselves by challenging some of the best teams in the college game.

Ohio State is undoubtedly one of the best in the business on offense. The team is rated 14th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 114 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Ohio State is a very dangerous team when it comes to shooting the rock, ranking in the top-25 in three of our four major field goal categories. They are most proficient from two-point range, making good on 45.9% of their mid-range jumpers (second in the nation), 68.7% of their near-proximity chances (fourth), and 48.6% of their total shots from the field (12th) vs. AO. Ohio State also does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 7.9% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked ninth nationally). Ohio State lastly does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 30.21 vs. AO, they are ranked tenth in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-50 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 75.9% of their attempts.

Ohio State is also a fairly decent team on the defensive end of the court. The team ranks 109th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 98 points every 100 trips upcourt 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 33.8% of their mid-range jumpers (33rd in the nation), 53.0% of their near-proximity chances (27th), and 39.6% of their total shots from the field (34th). Ohio State also does an adequate job to prevent opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.9% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 58th in the NCAA). If Ohio State does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's unwillingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of the opposition's turnovers. The squad only has a rating of 6.81 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 12th-worst in the college game.
