Entering its Sunday matinee with Ohio State, Indiana had yet to turn the ball over more than 18 times in a game this season.
The No. 8 Buckeyes racked up 23 takeaways against the No. 10 Hoosiers.
There’s no mystery as to why. Ohio State’s press defense has been relentless all season and the Scarlet and Gray’s defenders put on a marquee performance during a 74-69 victory over Indiana, the team’s second top-10 win of the season.
“It’s aggressive. They’re very athletic, and that’s what they feed off of, their press and creating turnovers and causing turnovers and scoring,” Indiana coach Teri Moren said.
