Kiyanna Black said there’s no secret formula to the ideas behind Ohio’s defensive success.
“Our goal is to make teams take, and make, tough shots,” said Ohio’s senior guard. “As long as we do that, there’s nothing more we can do.”
Technically, there is. And the Bobcats proved it during a 72-44 romp over Miami inside the Convocation Center on Wednesday night.
What’s better than making an opponent take tough shots? Well, not letting them shoot at all.
The Bobcats, with strong ball pressure and a sea of arms waving into passing lanes, forced 36 RedHawk turnovers and raked in a season-high 22 steals.
