The Ohio State basketball team has had a magical season so far and is now leading the Big Ten with a 12-1 record after the win over Purdue. However, one of the recurring issues for the Buckeyes had been the bench scoring, especially in the last five games. It certainly wasn’t a problem last night in West Lafayette and was the key in the win over the Boilermakers.
The players coming off the bench for Chris Holtmann hadn’t totaled double figures in any game since the win over Northwestern January 17th. Last night, they outscored their counterparts from Purdue 18-0.
