Fresh off a nine-spot jump in the AP poll, the No. 13 Ohio State Buckeyes (18-4, 9-0) beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers (14-8, 5-4) 64-59 at Value City Arena on Monday night. Both games between the two teams last year were decided by a single point, with the road team winning each. This one would follow suit staying tight until the very end, but it was the home team that eventually prevailed.
As has become a bit of a mid-season trend, the Buckeyes opened up against the Huskers sloppy and cold.
