Ohio State basketball was able to look more like a team that means business in the upcoming postseason when it led from start to finish and polished off an 80-69 victory over Michigan State on Thursday night.
A lot of it had to do with the performance of an OSU team that saw four players notch double-figures in a balanced, varied, and energetic effort. But if you watched the game, there’s no denying the fact that the Spartans’ effort also had something to do with it.
Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo met with the media after the game to field questions and talk about what he saw from both Ohio State and his team in a pretty important Big Ten contest. He was very critical of his team, but he veered away from the action on the court to be a little to offer up some criticism of the home crowd inside the Schottenstein Center as well.
