Instacap: Ohio State Holds Off Nebraska in Overtime, 65-62

Ohio State won its fourth-straight game Saturday, downing Nebraska, 65-62, in overtime. The Buckeyes outscored the Huskers 9-6 in the extra five minutes.

JaQuan Lyle's layup with 31 seconds remaining put Ohio State ahead by two and a free throw by Keita Bates-Diop pushed the lead to three in the closing seconds and the Buckeyes held off a desperation heave by Nebraska at the final horn to earn the victory.

Ohio State nearly blew the game in regulation, when Andrew White's 3-pointer with 52 seconds left put Nebraska up by two. On the Buckeyes' next possession, though, Lyle got to the rim and drew a foul and connected on both free throws to tie the game at 56.
