Defense...

“Obviously, a lot of motivation for (TCU),” Boynton said. “They played like a team with that had a tremendous amount of purpose. And it did help having the preseason player of the year back, I think it did help lift those other guys. They just flat out beat us, there’s no excuses. They were better in every facet of the game.”

Boynton said sometimes the final score skews how both teams actually played, but today the lopsided scoreboard accurately conveyed each team’s performance.

Boynton is 0-6 as a head coach at TCU. His frustrations Saturday boiled over midway through the second half, when OSU guard Quion Williams attacked the rim but discovered Miles in the air to deny him. Boynton had words for the official near OSU’s bench and was issued a technical foul.

OSU (16-11, 7-7), faces a quick turnaround with a game in West Virginia on Monday. Cowboy guard John-Michael Wright said regaining the team’s defensive identity is paramount.

“Defense is what we do,” Wright said. “That’s our bread and butter, so we know if we want to win and go far to where we want to go, that’s the thing that’s gonna take us there. We’ll pinpoint that. We’ll get that taken care of. We understand that’s what we need to fix. We’re gonna get it done.” sports.ed@ocolly.com
