Chris Holtmann Press Conference Highlights After Buckeyes Lose to Northwestern

Hear from the Ohio State head coach, as well as Kyle Young and Seth Towns after the Buckeyes came away with a disappointing, 1-point road loss.

Ohio State had moments of great energy offensively on Saturday, but they couldn't connect enough down the stretch in a 71-70 loss to Northwestern. 

Perhaps the most frustrating part of the Buckeyes loss was the fact that it was a very winnable game, as Ohio State led for 18 of the 20 minutes in the second stanza - but never by more than eight points. The Buckeyes just couldn't seem to deliver the punch that knocked Northwestern out of the game, even though they had several chances.

The Buckeyes connected on just 1-of-12 second half 3-pointers, which was certainly part of the frustration. But on arguably their best rebounding day of the season, the Scarlet and Gray are still showing signs of growth in an extremely deep conference.

Head coach Chris Holtmann, Seth Towns (who played his best game as a Buckeye) and Kyle Young all spoke with the media after the game. Here are some of the highlights from their press conferences.

The video above is Holtmann's thoughts on having a better second half taking care of the ball, in addition to rebounding the ball well today.
