Ohio State stunned No. 4 Kentucky on Saturday, 74-67.
The Buckeyes survived a late second-half run by the Wildcats after leading by as many as 16 in what was by far the biggest win of the season.
Keita Bates-Diop led the way for Ohio State with 14 points. Marc Loving had 12, Jae'Sean Tate finished with 11 and Trevor Thompson had 10 for the unranked Buckeyes.
