Ohio State vs Minnesota Preview
The Buckeyes enjoyed their largest margin of victory of the season on Wednesday, throttling the Nebraska Cornhuskers 90-54 at home to improve to 2-2 in Big Ten play and 8-2 overall.
Chris Holtmann’s squad held Nebraska to just 28.3 percent shooting from the field.
“Tonight was a unique Big Ten game; you don’t have many that are like that,” the head coach said, according to The Associated Press. “It was a really solid performance. We were able to defend them with great purpose. Our ball movement was exceptional. That’s what we have to continue to be.
“If we were playing them again tomorrow, the game could look much different. … We played really well.”
Ohio State forward Justin Ahrens came off the bench to drop a game-high 18 points. He shot 6-of-9 from 3-point range; Nebraska combined to shoot 5-of-33 from distance.
Center Zed Key added 14 points on 5-of-5 shooting to go with 4 rebounds and a block. He logged 14 minutes off the bench.
“I felt really good,” Ahrens said, per AP. “My teammates did a great job of just finding me. Once I see one or two go through, I get a feeling. I feel like I gotta shoot it if I’m open.
“Once I see one or two go through, I’m going to keep shooting until I miss.”
The Golden Gophers are also 2-2 in conference action, having fallen to the No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers 71-59 on Thursday. They dropped to 9-2 on the year.
Marcus Carr, who leads the Gophers in points per game (22.7) and assists per game (6.2), struggled to 3-of-13 shooting for 10 points, adding a game-high 7 assists.
Fellow Minnesota guard Gabe Kalscheur led the team with 15 points, though he wasn’t efficient either; he went 4-of-12 from the field and 3-of-10 from deep.
“He was attacking,” Gophers head coach Richard Pitino said of Kalscheur, according to the Star Tribune. “We’ve got to get everybody doing that. It can’t all be on Marcus. It’s got to be everybody reading what the defense gives them. And I thought Gabe was certainly trying to do that.”
Kalscheur, a junior, has struggled from distance all year. After shooting 37.2 percent from 3-point range across his first two seasons, he’s hitting just 20.7 percent of his triples in 2020-21.
“It was nice seeing it go in. I’m still not happy with my performance,” Kalscheur said, per the Star Tribune. “I feel like I played OK. Shot selection could’ve done better. I tried to play my heart out for the team to get a win, but we came up short.”
