Seth Towns had checked into his first-ever Big Ten game 16 seconds prior to him reaching both of his arms out to grab a loose ball under the basket. Taking one dribble to position himself just outside of the lane on the left side of the hoop, he rose up for a short fadeaway over an outstretched Ron Harper Jr.’s flailing left arm.
All net.
That basket to chop Rutgers lead down to 53-40, cutting into a deficit Ohio State eventually overcame for an 80-68 victory, was the first make for Towns in 1,018 days.
