In a close back and forth game, the Buckeyes were able to pull out a 75-67 victory over Illinois (12-12). Leading the game by four at halftime, Ohio State (20-5) was able to eventually increase that lead by four more to pull out the 8 point victory.

Keita Bates-Diop had a monster game for the Buckeyes, leading all scorers with 35 points and also posting 13 rebounds for a double double. Jae'Sean Tate chipped in 11 points, to go along with another double double by Kaleb Wesson (10 points; 10 rebounds). Leading the Fighting Illini was Mark Alstork who poured in 19 points for the game.

Next up for OSU is a big time showdown at Purdue on Wednesday.

Actually the Buckeyes were down late in the game and made a big run to pull it out.

True! This was really a game of runs. Whoever had the last one was going to win, which was the Buckeyes.

What a game for the Buckeyes! Purdue (23-3) led for the majority of this game, and actually led by 14 with just 10 minutes left in the game, but, to their credit, the Holtmann coaches Buckeyes (21-5), never gave up, earning a big time road victory over #3 Purdue, 64-63. It was a Keita Bates-Diop tip in off a Jae'Sean Tate miss with 2.8 seconds left that gave the Buckeyes the victory.

KBD led a very balanced scoring attack with 18 points (11 rebounds), while Jae'Sean Tate chipped in 10 points. Andre Wesson (13 points) and Musa Jallow (10 points) played perhaps the best game of their young careers off the bench for OSU.

Carsen Edwards led all scorers with 28 points for the Boilermakers, followed by Isaac Haas with 18.

Next up for the Buckeyes, as the season begins to wind down, they will host Iowa on Saturday (OSU won 92-81 earlier in the season).

The win propelled OSU into sole possession of first place in the Big Ten.

Big for the Buckeyes to hold Haas to 2 points in the 2nd half, even if it did open up their shooters a bit more.

Great college basketball game! Awesome crowd, great defense and big plays by both squads. How about that pass from Matthias to Haas? That was unreal and I'm just glad the shot didn't fall.

Still not sure how OSU pulled it off, but what a game. Has to be a big confidence boost for A. Wesson and Jallow. Those two playing with confidence makes this team that much stronger, especially if Kam comes back with his head on straight. I see a lot of David Lighty in Jallow, I think the kid is going to be a good one.

Also, an MSU win over Purdue this weekend would be great. With OSU holding the tie breaker against both, it would give them a buffer for the #1 seed in the B1G tourney.

Did anybody ever hear what Williams did? They always got to be so secretive about this stuff, smdh. Other than that it was a great win!

Sparty takes care of Purdue. Buckeyes with a one game lead over both with the tiebreaker.
Buckeyes need a win today to keep that one game lead.

Buckeyes up 10 at the break. Diop sat the last 2 1/2 minute of the half. Buckeyes were up 12 and held ball situation with around.39 to play and they call a foul on Dakich who was on the floor. Very strange foul call. Both FT’s cut the lead to 10.

Good win for the Buckeyes!

Next game is Thursday at Penn State, where OSU will look for payback.

Tonight was an ugly one for the Buckeyes (22-6), as they fell on the road 79-56 at Penn State (19-9). The only two conference losses for OSU on the season have come against PSU (the other on a buzzer beater in Columbus), so the Buckeyes wanted payback in this one but looked like they never showed up to the arena, against a vastly improving Nittany Lion squad.

CJ Jackson led Ohio State with 13 points, followed by a low scoring game by Keita Bates-Diop with just 10 points. Tony Carr had yet another monster game for Penn State, as he dumped in 30 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Also with big production for PSU was Mike Watkins, who posted a 11 point and 10 rebound double-double.

Ohio State will look to get back on track when they travel to #22 Michigan on Sunday in their second game of the season (OSU won the earlier matchup).
