Overall: D
Northwestern and Ohio State played a very ugly basketball game on Wednesday night. Even if Northwestern had managed to win the game, the Wildcats did not play well by any stretch of the imagination. Ohio State was not much better until the final five minutes, but Northwestern looked tired and inept on offense for most of the game.
