Ohio State defeated Rutgers on Saturday, 79-69, to move to 16-10 overall and 8-5 in the Big Ten.
It was the Buckeyes' second-straight win after they knocked off Northwestern on Tuesday and Ohio State will host Michigan next Tuesday in a game that is a huge opportunity to pick up a resume-building win.
But while Saturday's game will be filed in the win column, there is certainly a lot to examine for the Buckeyes as this was far from a strong showing. You never want to be overly critical in a game that a team wins by double digits on the road in the Big Ten, but Ohio State was far from perfect Saturday.
