Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions.
Shortly after Ohio State dropped a heartbreaker, 66-60 to Indiana Saturday afternoon at Assembly Hall, Buckeyes’ head coach Jake Diebler spoke to the media about the loss and his team’s path forward to the NCAA Tournament.
Diebler refused to say how many games he thinks his team needs to win to clinch an at-large bid, but said that they need to win Wednesday first before they can think of anything else. He also pushed back on the idea that his team was out-rebounded by a lack of energy or effort, saying that the Buckeyes got their hands on a few rebounds that they weren’t able to hold on to, and that a couple guys got “caught staring” during the play.
Micah Parrish also spoke, and pivoted away when asked about the type of mindset his team needs to have, going into a conference tournament where it is not clear how many games they need to win to go to the NCAA Tournament. He said he’s excited for March, and that this is the most fun basketball of the year.
