Ohio State's offense has struggled of late, and coach Chris Holtmann said a primary area of concern is decisions being made in the paint.

“We’ve got to make better paint decisions,” Holtmann said. “We’ve got to see the open man better and quicker and make cleaner reads in those situations when we’ve created a help situation. That’s the biggest thing for us right now.”Join the Ohio State Sports Insider text group with Bill Rabinowitz, Joey Kaufman Adam Jardy
“That’s just a matter of being poised and being under control,” Sueing, who has seven assists and 10 turnovers during the losing streak, said. “Sometimes we can get a little sped up, which usually leads to anyone making a poor decision in the paint. It’s just a repetition thing we’re going to continue to work on. It’s just a matter of repetition and mentally preparing for that stuff, especially as defenses start to shift and try to make more of those things happen.
“We have to be able to find and see the open guy and see the kick-out and then maybe the one-more ,” Holtmann said. “We have to get better at that than what we’ve been. We’ve always been a pretty heavy dribble-drive team this year and certainly at times in years past. That allows us to get to the free-throw line, allows us to get to the paint but it also puts a premium on good paint decisions.”
