The Ohio State Buckeyes downed the Michigan Wolverines in basketball, and head football coach Ryan Day was loving it. The Buckeyes have now beaten Michigan twice in the last three months.
11-2 at home and 15-7 overall, the Buckeyes have struggled a bit in conference play, making an away victory over the Wolverines that much more rewarding.
The Buckeyes won 61-58. On the back of Kaleb Wesson and Duane Washington Jr., two players that combined for 40 of the team’s 61, Ohio State was able to record their third straight victory.
It was really the defense that solidified the victory, forcing Michigan to shoot just 33% from the field. It was a victory that moves Ohio State more solidly in the NCAA field — for now.
Let’s just say Ryan Day knows a bit about beating TTUN. After Ohio State’s impressive victory, he gave the team and head coach Chris Holtmann some love on Twitter.
It’s great seeing the different programs support each other. Knowing something about winning, Day’s recognition and support of the program only bodes well for the team’s future.
The Buckeyes will be back in action Sunday on the road at Wisconsin.
