On a night set aside to honor former National Player of the Year Evan Turner, whose single most memorable moment was a buzzer-beater against Michigan in the 2010 Big Ten Tournament, Ohio State used five double-digit scorers to beat the Wolverines 76-66 in Columbus.
The Buckeyes led for the game's final 32 minutes with a combination of intense defense that prevented the normally deadly Michigan perimeter game to get going, and a balanced offensive attack that included 38 points in the paint.
The win is a big one for the Buckeyes, moving Thad Matta's bunch to 17-10 overall and 9-5 in the Big Ten.
