Ohio State's chances to win its first Big Ten title of any kind under Chris Holtmann looked bleak after the Buckeyes snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last Wednesday at Rutgers but with a convincing 68-57 road win over Michigan on Sunday, the squad remains in the conference title hunt with eight games to play.
The win in Crisler Arena was huge for many reasons, notably giving the team some confidence on the road after losing four of its last five conference battles away from Value City Arena to that point.
E.J. Liddell was sensational once again for the Buckeyes, pouring in 28 points on 8-of-17 from the floor and 11-of-11 from the stripe.
