For the majority of Monday night's 64-59 win over Nebraska, it looked like Ohio State was playing with tired, heavy legs.
It's because they were.
The Buckeyes overcame a first half in which they shot just 36 percent from the floor to remain unbeaten in conference play, but it the victory wasn't always pretty and didn't come easy.
The win over Nebraska concluded a stretch of four games in eight days for Ohio State, a schedule that featured trips to Piscataway, N.J., Rosemont, Ill., and New York City, with flights back to Columbus squeezed in.
