The Ohio State basketball team lost to 15-seed Oral Roberts in overtime. It’s an embarrassing loss to what was once a promising season.

This game shouldn’t have been even close. Ohio State should have run away with it. They were playing the 278th ranked defense in the country, and yet they barely eclipsed 70 points.
