Death came in threes for Minnesota against Ohio State on Sunday.
Three players combined to hit threes on three consecutive possessions to push the Buckeyes’ lead back to double digits with less than two minutes to play, sealing their win after the Golden Gophers cut OSU’s once 20-point lead down to two scores twice.
It started with a catch-and-shoot from NBA range at the top of the key from Jamison Battle. Then, Bruce Thornton cashed in a fantastic step-back triple from the left corner before Roddy Gayle Jr. swished another catch-and-shoot from the right wing.
