It always stinks to lost to your rival, especially the one from Columbus. No. 16 Ohio State played some really good basketball at the Crisler Center, beating No. 12 Michigan, 74-61.
This was Michigan’s last chance to pick up a win against a ranked conference opponent this season, but they were too sloppy with the basketball to make it happen.
These teams are neck-and-neck in the Big Ten standings, and are only separated by 4 spots in the AP Poll. Ohio State won the first match-up in Columbus, 66-57.
Here are the takeaways from the loss.
