Morgan State's Webster defies the odds

OMAHA, Neb. -- A bunch of newcomers carried Ohio State for much of the game against Creighton. When the Buckeyes called on their longest-tenured player, he delivered.

C.J. Jackson took a cross-court pass from Keyshawn Woods and launched the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:10 to play and made a hook shot in the lane in the final minute as the Buckeyes held off the Bluejays 69-60 after squandering a double-digit halftime lead Thursday night.

Jackson had been 0 for 7 from the field with five turnovers before coming up with two of the Buckeyes' biggest baskets.

"We need him," Woods said. "I told him to stay confident and that we needed him to come up big down the stretch, and that's just what he did."

Woo…
