Good Hoops Morning: To stay afloat, Ohio State must vanquish Xfinity Center boogeyman

Feels like no Big Ten arena has given Ohio State more issues than the Xfinity Center. They never win there.

Well, time to face the boogeyman.

‘January Juni’ turning Ohio State into a potentially dangerous bubble team The sophomore guard has carried Ohio State over the last two weeks.

If John Mobley continues to play like this and Bruce Thornton can just keep being Bruce Thornton, Ohio State is going to be a spicy 10 or 11-seed that teams aren't going to want to draw in the tournament.

Film Room: The 3-possession stretch that doomed Ohio State against Washington A 71-second stretch of poor shot selection buried the Buckeyes Sunday night.

Ohio State says they emphasize "paint-touch threes" but in the second half against Washington they refused to actually do that.

Let's break down the three-possession stretch that likely cost the #Buckeyes the game on Sunday night.

Here's the play that ultimately took Christoph Tilly out of the game Sunday night. Kepnang gets an elbow up by his ribs, called for an illegal screen.

TBD on how much time Tilly will miss.

Buckeyes to face tall task Saturday against the nation’s tallest team North Carolina starts three players who are 6-foot-10 or taller.

Ohio State isn't just facing a tall team on Saturday, they're facing the tallest team.

Three guys 6'10" or taller in the starting lineup. Could cause some issues.
