On Jan. 11, the Buckeyes hit what seemed to be rock bottom of the 2019-2020 basketball season. Ohio State, on the heels of three straight losses, marched into Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana and lost to the Hoosiers by 12 despite holding a three-point lead at halftime. Indiana outscored the Buckeyes by 15 in the second half as Ohio State shot 32.7% from floor, including just 30.8% on two-point shots. With the loss, Ohio State’s conference record sunk to 1-4.
Duane Washington Jr., Ohio State’s second-leading scorer at the time, logged just over eight minutes in the loss, finishing with two points that both came on free throws.
