Ohio State's 2022-23 men's basketball team allowed a peek behind the curtain at an open practice at Value City arena.
“The good thing is that we’re not the only one,” Holtmann told a crowd of a few hundred tucked into a four-section segment of the lower bowl. “A lot of programs are going through this new age of the transfer portal. You have to adjust. It certainly has some challenges. You probably see that we have a learning curve, for sure, and some of that is we don’t know what we don’t know. I don’t know if you fully understand that until the lights go on.
Next, the players were divided into two lines for two-on-two battles. Teams were awarded two points for grabbing rebounds with both hands, one point for a one-handed rebound and other bonuses for pulling down offensive rebounds. That proved to be fourth-year Wright State transfer Tanner Holden’s specialty, as the wing twice got to the offensive glass against his opponent and kept the possession alive.
Ohio State is planning on trying to play at a faster pace this season despite having to rely heavily on four freshmen including a true point guard in ThorntonThe 58-second scrimmages seemed designed to force the Buckeyes to get multiple possessions in a short period of time. At other points, Ohio State scrimmaged with only 22 seconds on the shot clock. At all times, the assistant coaches were imploring guys to sprint up and down the court.
For a stretch, Sueing handled the point in a lineup where Likekele played as a small-ball center and matched up with Key . Holtmann was asked by a fan if the Buckeyes could utilize a lineup with Sueing, Likekele and Thornton all playing together. “This past year has been one of the hardest years I’ve had to go through, especially seeing my brothers out there on Team 123 have such a great season and I wasn’t able to contribute,” he said. “But everything happens for a reason. I worked really hard. I feel great. I’m better than ever and I just can’t wait to get out and see all your faces here in the Schott.”A league with 14 teams and 20 conference games will never have balanced scheduling for men’s basketball.
