Wisconsin sustained a furious comeback effort late to walk out of the Schottenstein Center with a win over the Buckeyes.
In a game that saw Chris Holtmann get ejected in the first half after a heated exchange with the officiating crew, frequent Ohio State turnovers and sluggish offense allowed Wisconsin to build a double-digit lead early. The Badgers took a 43-27 lead into halftime, and the Buckeyes had to play the entire second half without their head coach on the sideline.
| Team | 1 | 2 | FINAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| OHIO STATE | 27 | 33 | 60 |
| WISCONSIN | 43 | 22 | 65 |
Ohio State came charging back to trail by just two points in the final minute, but with Brice Sensabaugh on the sideline with five fouls, the Buckeyes couldn’t make quite enough plays to secure a win.
