Neither Ohio State nor Rutgers jumped out to a quick start in Wednesday night’s Big Ten matchup, with just two points – a fast-break layup from Kyle Young that was counted as a basket due to goaltending – coming in the opening three minutes.
By the time Andre Wesson scored the next points, which came on a layup three-and-a-half minutes into the game, Kaleb Wesson had already picked up a pair of fouls. The talented big man who averages 17 points and seven rebounds per game has been foul-prone since beginning his college career, so it wasn’t a surprise that he got into early foul trouble.
