A tight game early slipped away late in the second half as Ohio State struggled through scoring droughts and limited offensive support against Michigan.

Michigan basketball head coach Dusty May met with the media to discuss the game against Ohio State. Here's what he said about the Buckeyes.

Ohio State kept the game close early, even taking a 20-16 lead into the under-eight-minute media timeout. John Mobley Jr. had a stellar first half, scoring 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the floor with a pair of three-pointers.

Here are three quick takeaways from Ohio State's loss at Michigan: He’s been on a tear lately, and Ohio State’s sophomore guard was again up to the task against the Wolverines. He finished with a game-high 22 points, single-handedly helping the Buckeyes keep pace for much of the game, but got little help elsewhere.
