Rnd 1: OHIO STATE

[JackJD]

Two flagship, land grants: Ohio State v. South Dakota State. Should be fun!

Ohio State's coach is in his first year with the Buckeyes. From the Ohio State website:

Chris Holtmann enters his first season at the helm of the Buckeyes in 2017-18 after spending the previous three seasons as head coach at Butler University. Holtmann became the 14th head coach in Ohio State history when he was named to the position June 9, 2017.

Correction: it's THE Ohio State University v. THE South Dakota State University.

Armchair coach suggestion: figure out what Penn State did to beat the Buckeyes three times this season, and do a lot of that.

Really like this draw. Their tallest player is 6-9. Their best player is 6-7. We match up with these guys a lot better than some of the other 5 seeds. The score 75 pts/game and give up 66 pts/game. Bates Diop is their best player and he leads the team in min played points and reb.

Agreed, I think we match up with them very well. I'll take big 10 team in a year where they only got 4 teams in the tournament.

And a new head coach. Like that they started strong and faded down the stretch, plus not a lot of tournament experience.

We seem to do well with teams wearing red.

Re: Rnd 1: OHIO STATE

And they haven't played since the 2nd so it will be a little longer layoff for them than us.

The 3 that are bold and larger play 30 min or more a game. The two that are bold are the other 2 over 20 min.
Looks like they play 8 guys consistenty.

Wonder if there will be any lingering effects of Tate's shoulder injury that could impact his minutes.
