Ohio State has now earned head-to-head wins over both of its top competitors for the Big Ten title.
Two weeks removed from an overtime win over then-No. 2 Iowa, Ohio State earned another top-10 win in front of its home crowd on Sunday as the eighth-ranked Buckeyes defeated No. 10 Indiana, 74-69, at the Schottenstein Center.
The game was tight down the stretch as Indiana made a late surge to come back from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit, but Ohio State held on for its ninth straight victory.
