Those who stayed up past midnight to watch the ending of Ohio State vs, Minnesota witnessed one of the most chaotic conclusions to a college basketball game this year.
A game with 10 ties and 24 lead changes oddly featured neither in its final of four periods as Ohio State (10-5, 2-2 Big Ten) raced out to an 8-0 run but still barely clung on for an 89-88 win over Minnesota (8-7, 0-4) in double overtime at Williams Arena on Monday.
TEAM | 1 | 2 | OT | 2OT | FINAL |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
OHIO STATE | 27 | 37 | 9 | 16 | 89 |
MINNESOTA | 28 | 36 | 9 | 15 | 88 |
Bruce Thornton and Devin Royal have been Ohio State's two most consistent scorers this season and provided the Buckeyes the bulk of their offense against the Golden Gophers, collecting 18 and 19 points, respectively.
