Instant Analysis: Reacting to Ohio State's Loss to Xavier

Watch LIVE or ON-DEMAND as BuckeyesNow shares our post-game reaction to the Buckeyes' tough loss at Xavier.

Brendan Gulick | Nov 18, 2021

Ohio State had a tough game against the Xavier Musketeers on Thursday night, falling on the road 71-65.

E.J. Liddell led the Buckeyes with 17 points, 7 rebounds and a career-high eight blocked shots, but Ohio State missed too many layups and had a tough time getting rolling offensively early in the game. The Buckeyes never led, but also kept things close enough that the game was also never really out of reach.

Brett Hiltbrand joins me live from the Cintas Center to react to Ohio State's first loss of the season.
