Offense was probably going to be hard to come by in a matchup pitting Ohio State and Northwestern together. It was hard to expect much else as the Buckeyes came into the game tied for 217th in the country in points per game and the Wildcats came in at No. 291.
Sometimes, the stats are predictive, and the two teams slogged through an ugly first half before Ohio State pulled away with a burst of well-executed offense to win 63-49.
Kaleb Wesson stuffed the stat sheet with 22 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and two blocks to win the battle of the big men in Dererk Pardon’s homecoming.
