Ohio State took its first step to rebound from a brutal past month on Sunday night.
Behind a team-high 17 points from DJ Carton, the Buckeyes headed on the road to Evanston, Illinois, and beat Northwestern, 71-59, to bounce back from a two-game skid. The much-needed win marked just the second in the past eight games.
With the victory, Ohio State improves its record to 13-7 overall and 3-6 in the Big Ten. This was the team's first conference win on the road this season.
The Buckeyes trailed by three points early in the second half then grabbed the lead with 14:38 remaining in the game, slowly extending it.
