Ohio State and Wisconsin went to war on Wednesday.
| TEAM | 1 | 2 | FINAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| #15 WISCONSIN | 35 | 36 | 71 |
| OHIO STATE | 33 | 27 | 60 |
In a second half that stayed within six points until the final minute, Jamison Battle and Bruce Thornton, despite some late lapses, fought to keep the Buckeyes afloat.
What was easily Value City Arena's most raucous crowd so far this season came away disappointed, however, as Wisconsin (12-3, 4-0) unglued the Buckeyes (12-4, 2-3) with a 19-4 extended run to close the contest.
