CHICAGO – Quick thoughts on a 79-75 loss to Ohio State:
How it happened: The stage was set for Indiana to play its way into the NCAA tournament in Chicago at the United Center.

In a game the Buckeyes controlled virtually throughout, Indiana’s Big Ten tournament woes continued on Thursday afternoon at the United Center. Ohio State got all of the loose balls early and set the tone. Kaleb Wesson was a difference maker in the paint for Chris Holtmann.
