While the Ohio State basketball team certainly played a much better brand than they did in their last two efforts on the road, it wasn’t enough to get it done. Purdue made the majority of the plays down the stretch, and the result was an eleven point win for the Boilermakers.
The Buckeyes came out of the gates aggressive, and shots were falling. With just over four minutes remaining in the first half, the Buckeyes held a six point advantage.
