Ohio State Basketball: Poor start makes Buckeyes’ uphill climb too steep

The first half of yesterday’s game can only be described as ugly as both Ohio State and Wisconsin had trouble finding the bottom of the net. The Badgers were a little more successful at doing so and led 26-16 lat halftime.

Early in the second half Wisconsin players found their shooting strokes and it looked as though the game would be a blowout. Ohio State fell behind 44-21 just four minutes into the second half and still trailed 58-36 with about seven minutes to play.

Finally the shots began to fall for the Buckeyes and they came storming back to tie the game at 63, and even had the ball with a chance to win at the end of regulation.
