The sixth-ranked Buckeyes shot 38.8 percent — almost 10 percentage points below their season average — and missed 13 of 16 3-pointers in a 56-51 loss to No. 17 Michigan.

“I’ve never coached a team that has worked harder at shooting the basketball than this one, and we are good at it,” Matta said. “There was one possession tonight where we missed a wide-open shot, got the rebound, missed another wide-open shot, got another rebound and missed a third wide-open shot.

“As I told our kids after the game, at some point you have to hit something if you want to win.”
