A somewhat ugly game ended with Thad Matta's Ohio State club notching its seventh straight victory and third Big Ten conference victory Wednesday. The Buckeyes used a late 8-0 run to push past Northwestern, 65-56, in Evanston, Illinois to earn their first conference road game of the season.

Kam Williams led Ohio State with 21 points, exploding off the bench in an otherwise hapless offensive effort by each team.
