It was fun while it lasted.
Riding high off the momentum from its upset win over then-No. 2 Purdue on Sunday – its first game under interim head coach Jake Diebler – Ohio State entered Williams Arena in Minneapolis with hopes of snapping its school record-tying 16-game road losing streak against Minnesota.
Instead, that record was broken.
| TEAM | 1 | 2 | FINAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| OHIO STATE | 34 | 45 | 79 |
| MINNESOTA | 42 | 46 | 88 |
The Buckeyes (15-12, 5-11 Big Ten) never led against the Gophers (17-9, 8-7) in an 88-79 loss, Ohio State's 10th defeat in 13 games.
