The Aztecs have been stellar with ball handling. The Buckeyes play well defensively, but they’re going to have a hard time containing the Aztecs.  The Buckeyes clean up the boards, but they haven’t handled the ball carefully. The Aztecs average over 12 steals per game against strong foes, and this will be problematic for the Buckeyes.  The Aztecs are also keeping opponents under 65 points per game, so the Buckeyes will have a hard time scoring.

The Aztecs should secure the victory.
