Ohio State hit double-digit losses in a season earlier than any other time in coach Thad Matta's career Thursday at Wisconsin, dropping a 79-68 decision at Wisconsin. In what is now Matta's 12th season, Ohio State has suffered double-digit losses in only five times.
The Buckeyes (14-10, 6-5 Big Ten) spotted the Badgers 11 points to open the game, but bounced back to actually lead at one point before faltering down the stretch and leaving too many shooters open. Wisconsin hit a season-high 13 shots from beyond the arc.
Matta hit the 97.1 The Fan radio airwaves with Paul Keels and Ron Stokes Monday for his weekly show.
