It’s all going downhill for the Ohio State basketball team, and you can bet head coach Chris Holtmann is feeling the pinch. The Buckeyes dropped their eighth game in nine tries, and the head coach of OSU let things boil over at the end of the first half in a 65-60 loss vs. Wisconsin at home.
It’s something we really haven’t seen from the seventh-year head man in Columbus. Wisconsin can be a frustrating and physical team to play, and with Ohio State falling down by double-digits in the first half, Holtmann could be seen on a few occasions questioning some of the calls and non-calls from the officials.
