For the first time in more than two decades, Ohio State has lost five games in a row.
Despite overcoming a 21-1 run from Purdue in the first half of Wednesday night's Big Ten matchup at the Schottenstein Center that threatened to demoralize the Buckeyes, they responded and pulled within two points on a 3-pointer from Musa Jallow with 10:15 remaining on the game. The Boilermakers held off Ohio State down the stretch, though, for a 79-67 win.
The Buckeyes have now lost their last five games – marking the first time they have lost that many games in a row since the 1997-98 season – and haven't won since beating High Point on Dec.
