For the better half of Tuesday evening, Northwestern looked like it would snap its 30-game losing streak in Columbus. Then Ohio State woke up.
| TEAM | 1 | 2 | F |
|---|---|---|---|
| OHIO STATE | 26 | 45 | 71 |
| NORTHWESTERN | 33 | 30 | 63 |
Thad Matta's club overcame a hapless first half offensive showing to survive against the Wildcats, 71-63, and snap a two-game losing skid.
