Justin Ahrens has heard the message over and over from Chris Holtmann.
“Coach always emphasizes move on to the next play,” he said after Ohio State’s 90-70 win against No. 22 Iowa on Tuesday.
Make a 3-pointer, like he did six times on Tuesday? Move on. Turn the ball over? Start thinking about the next play.
With 4:30 remaining in Tuesday’s game, Ahrens tossed a lazy cross-court pass toward Keyshawn Woods that never reached its intended recipient’s hands. Isaiah Moss batted the ball out of the air, corralled it and began a one-man fast break with the intention of cutting Ohio State’s 11-point lead to single digits.
