Ohio State had a second date with disaster on Tuesday.
After taking an 18-point lead in the opening minutes of the second half against Indiana, the Buckeyes saw their margin tick down until they were trailing with less than three minutes remaining.
| TEAM | 1 | 2 | FINAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| INDIANA | 29 | 47 | 76 |
| OHIO STATE | 42 | 31 | 73 |
Having already blown an 18-point second-half lead earlier this season on the road at Penn State in December, Ohio State watched as a three-pointer off the hand of Indiana's Anthony Leal fall through the netting to make it 74-73 Hoosiers with 22 seconds left.
