Matta, who served as an assistant to former Nebraska Coach Barry Collier at Butler, is in his 10th season at OSU and has guided the Buckeyes to seven NCAA appearances, including an NCAA runner-up finish in 2007 and a Final Four appearance in 2012. OSU returned four starters from a team that won 29 games and reached the Elite Eight in 2012-13. OSU has been stout defensively, ranking fourth nationally in scoring defense (55.1 ppg) and not allowing a team to reach 70 points this season. The Buckeyes are holding teams to just 37 percent from the field, including a conference-low 24 percent from 3-point range. OSU has non-conference wins over Marquette and Notre Dame and opened Big Ten play with a 78-69 win at Purdue. The Buckeyes are a balanced team with four players averaging over nine points per game and nine players who average double-figure minutes. Junior LaQuinton Ross averages a team-high 13.8 points per game and shoots 37 percent from 3-point range, while senior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr., averages 13.4 points per game and has a team-high 25 3-pointers. All-Big Ten selection Aaron Craft is a four-year starter who averages 9.4 points, 5.0 assists and a Big Ten-leading 2.5 steals per game. Shannon Scott is second in the Big Ten with 2.2 steals per game and also dishes out nearly four assists per outing. The Huskers and Buckeyes will meet twice this month, as OSU visits Pinnacle Bank Arena on Jan. 20. 1 Quote Link to comment
