There was no rise from the ashes for the Phoenix Ohio State played Monday night.
Ohio State (5-1) led wire-to-wire even as Green Bay (2-5) cut the Buckeyes' lead to single digits on countless occasions. OSU finally took a double-digit edge for the final time with 11:36 to play and hit the cruise control button from there, riding out a 102-69 win.
