Indiana used a big start to the second half to separate from Ohio State this weekend and finished it with a twelve-point win. The Buckeyes struggled to slow down Indiana in the first twenty minutes as well, but played resilient and aggressive to reel things back in and took the lead into halftime.
It didn’t last though. The turnovers and poor shooting were just too much to overcome. OSU head coach Chris Holtmann and fans had to feel pretty dejected and frustrated after the game, but that’s not how Hoosier head coach Archie Miller saw things. In fact, he thinks Ohio State is a team that can go pretty deep in March.
While speaking to the media after, Miller heaped praise on this Buckeye squad.
A Final Four team? That would have been much easier to believe a couple of weeks ago, but with Ohio State losing four in a row now and looking absolutely lost on how to take care of the ball, many are wondering if this team was punching above its weight early in the season.
Is Miller just elevating the opponent with his comments like some coaches do, or does he really believe this Buckeye team can make a deep reach in March?
