I am pretty sure this doesn’t adjust for opponent strength so it is a bit misleading to interpret at face value.
Scouting the Ohio State matchup

- Start date
Not that I'm a huge Jim Calhoun fan, but.....
I do agree with you on that, but it does serve as a decent starting point. Obviously Gonzaga gets to pad its stats due to the weaker conference games, as does VCU. Still, those three teams not named VCU are two #1's and a #3 seed. VCU lost to Virginia by 8 earlier in the year and is an 8 seed. Always look for Power 5 teams that are a nice balance of above average O and D...they are battle-tested in their conference and are a pain to play. Power 5 teams that are unbalanced usually don't last long...
Research question: Who are we most comparable to in the Big10, and how did OSU fare against those teams?
My first thought was Purdue, which beat OSU 86-51 3 weeks ago. Without Wesson, but still...
I'd say the Michigan Fab 5 teams.
Regarding the Ohio St. Vid:
Homers gonna homer. Battle tested in the Big14, yeah right. The BIG12 was a cake walk. The BIG12 doesn't play defense. Hello TT and KSU. tOSU plays better when facing teams out of conference. Every team can claim this.
You can tell they aren't that confident about the result of this game.
Regarding the Calhoun vid:
Hell yes he's scared to death of ISU. He gotta nice taste of Cyclone Power back when Royce White and friends paid them a visit in Louisville in 2012. If a coach in the Hall of Fame of cheating is afraid, you best listen.
