Ohio State avenges January loss, defeats Rutgers 76-62
On Groundhog Day, the Ohio State Buckeyes (14-7, 4-6) avoided a nightmare repeat of their January loss to Rutgers Scarlet Knights (11-10, 4-7). The Bucks avenged their earlier defeat with a 76-62 win at the Value City Arena.
After a difficult January — in which Ohio State went 1-6 — Chris Holtmann’s squad looked quite a bit more focused and in control in the rematch against Rutgers. While Kaleb Wesson dominated the first half offensively, the Buckeyes were also strong on the defensive end, and took much better care of the ball than they were throughout the first month on 2019.
