#8 Ohio State will be playing #9 Siena in Dayton. Game time is set for a half hour after the Louisville game, approximately 9:40pm ET. First here comes a look at the Ohio State Buckeyes who lost in the Big Ten Championship to Purdue.

Ohio State has proved to be a very efficient offensive team, good for 26th in the country. They shoot 37.9% from three good for 34th in the nation and 54.1% from two good for 10th in the country. Ohio State depends on the three for about a third of their points and shoots threes on 35.4% of their possessions, good for 99th in the country.

Siena has played teams like this that jack up a lot of threes, Niagara shoots a higher percentage of threes than Ohio State. One thing Ohio State does not do well is grab offensive boards ranking in the lower third of the country in that offensive factor. Teams that Siena played that liked the three tended to live and die on their offensive boards but Ohio State has a lot better of an inside game so they can live without it.

One huge problem the Buckeyes have is turnovers, they turned it over 13.1 times per game. Only #8 seed Oklahoma State and Marist are two teams Siena played that turn it over more than the Buckeyes. Expect Siena to press and generate some turnovers on this team who is young and has no seniors.

Fun Fact: Ohio State had 3 true road wins this year and went 7-7 in road/neutral games.
