A classic tale of two halves.
In the first half of Wednesday night's game between No. 19 Ohio State (8-1) and Illinois (2-7), the Illini controlled the pace, the Buckeyes committed 10 turnovers, Kaleb Wesson got into early foul trouble and Illinois ended the first 20 minutes on a 16-4 run to enter the break with a four-point lead.
| TEAM | 1 | 2 | F |
|---|---|---|---|
| #19 OHIO STATE (8-1) | 34 | 43 | 77 |
| ILLINOIS (2-7) | 38 | 29 | 67 |
But Keyshawn Woods and an energized Wesson helped turn the tides in the second half.
