Ohio State had a tough afternoon against a hungry UConn Huskies team, who powered past the Buckeyes by a final score of 75-55.
The Huskies got off to a quick start, winning the jump ball and getting in two quick dunks, and a three from Rodney Purvis. All the while the UConn crowd was very loud and seemed to be fueling the energy of the Huskies, the Buckeyes were able to stick around, despite missing some good looks early. The Huskies led the Buckeyes 11-7 after the under-16 timeout.
The Buckeyes continued to struggle on the defensive end of the floor, and allowed the Huskies to get some easy baskets.
