What is a Press Release?

A “press release” is promotional text issued by a rider, team, company or organization to inform
the public about an event, product, or service from the issuer’s own point of view, and if deemed
to have news value, may be placed on roadracingworld.com as a service to our readers.

A press release is not an article written by Roadracingworld.com staffers. When a post is labeled with the words “press release”, it means that Roadracingworld.com is not responsible for its content and that Roadracingworld.com makes no guarantee that it is accurate. Not all press releases are posted and Roadracingworld.com may reject press releases if the content is too heavy on commercial promotion with little or no news value or if the press release contains obvious errors.

THREE KEYS TO THE GAME

1. Abysmal defense.  Ohio State torched Indiana’s defense.  The Buckeyes started the game hot from the field and never really cooled down.  For the game OSU shot 59.2% overall including 45.8% from three.  But the first half was the real story, when OSU made 67.9% overall and 61.5% (8 of 13) from three.  The live stats indicate the Buckeyes scored 1.56 points per possession in the first half.

2. OSU takes away the three.  Take away the three, slow down IU’s offense.  Indiana got up just eight attempts from long range in the first half and made just one.  Yes, OSU made as many threes as IU attempted in the first half. Lamar Wilkerson and Tucker DeVries combined to go 0 of 5 from long range before the break.  The Hoosiers came in averaging more than 51% of their field goal attempts from three, but took just 28.6% of their shots from beyond the arc in the first half.  Things didn’t get much better after the break, and IU shot just 5 of 18 from deep for the game.

3. First half turnovers.  Indiana added insult to injury in the first half with eight turnovers that resulted in 13 Ohio State points.  Several of those opportunities resulted in live ball scenarios where the Buckeyes were able to score before IU’s defense was set.  Seven different Indiana players had first half turnovers.  Those miscues plus Ohio State’s hot shooting contributed to a 15-4 Buckeye close to the first half to give them their biggest first half margin (17) at the break.
