The Ohio State Buckeyes men’s basketball team is looking to bounce back after suffering their first loss to No. 17 San Diego State in the opening round of the 2022 Maui Invitational. The Aztecs used an 11-point halftime differential to take down the Buckeyes 88-77.
The first half proved to be the Buckeye’s demise in this one, falling down 37-26 after shooting just 1-for-11 from three-point range. Ohio State center Zed Key also got into early foul trouble and the Aztecs started knocking down their shots before the Buckeyes did.
This was a tale of two halves, as the Buckeyes came out scoring in the second half, but the Aztecs came out hot as well.
