Yesterday's tough loss to Northwestern in Evanston dropped Chris Holtmann's basketball Buckeyes to 7-2 on the season. More importantly, the loss saw Ohio State drop to 1-2 in league action with the Buckeyes looking to draw even in next Wednesday's home matchup with Nebraska.
The week that was started off with a bang as Ohio State roared back from a 48-32 second half deficit against No. 11 Rutgers, closing on a 48-20 blitz to win going away. The 15 minute stretch was easily the best the Buckeyes have looked all year and they did it against a legit Scarlet Knights squad, albeit one that was a bit depleted due to injuries and foul trouble.
