Poor practices paved way for Ohio State's decisive loss at Illinois
“I feel like it could’ve been way better,” freshman Bruce Thornton said of the team’s practices before Illinois. “That’s the only thing I can really say. When we practice together and put Ohio State on our chest and play for that, I feel like it’s a good chance we’ll have a win every night.”
“I think it definitely was a factor,” he said. “There’s no question about it. Ultimately that was on me. That was definitely a factor. Not sure we would’ve won the game. Think we would’ve played better. The Buckeyes never led again. The deficit reached a season-high 17 points during the second half, and only an 8-0 run capped by a Sueing 3-pointer at the buzzer prevented this from being the most lopsided loss of the season for Ohio State.
Why was that? Sueing, who scored 11 of his 13 points during the second half, also took responsibility for Ohio State’s preparation leading into the game. In single-digit losses to Purdue, Maryland, Minnesota, Rutgers and Nebraska, Ohio State lamented numerous little things that added up to a sequence of close losses
“Postgame was really just telling the truth to each other,” Sueing said. “There’s clearly some things we need to work on and we’ve been saying . It’s getting repetitive as far as what we’re saying, so we really need to lock in. The season’s not going to slow down for us to get ready. That’s what it consists of and that’s all it is.”
