Even though the Ohio State basketball team suffered its second loss of the season to the West Virginia Mountaineers it was certainly a good tune up for the full-time Big Ten schedule that’s about to begin. And there should be lessons learned in the loss because of who the Buckeyes played.
Any Bob Huggins coached team plays strong defense and hits the boards just like Ohio State can expect to face on a regular basis the remainder of the season.
And West Virginia has tall, talented players as well which will often be the case during the conference schedule.
