Ohio State basketball got a win at Rutgers, but here's why the Buckeyes needed more

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- That wasn't enough.

Ohio State showed up to a nearly half-empty Rutgers Athletic Center on Saturday for a game against the worst team in the Big Ten. On a day that featured marquee matchups around the country, this game was an afterthought.

The Buckeyes' main objective was to come in, get a win, get out and get ready for a final five-game stretch that will determine their postseason fate. Mostly it was to leave Piscataway without becoming a headline for what would've been an embarrassing loss.

That's what Ohio State did. So why wasn't it enough?
