The Buckeyes didn't play terrible, the Spartans just played flawlessly.
Ohio State came into East Lansing hoping for a signature win heading into the Big Ten Tournament, but the Michigan State Spartans proved to be one of the best teams in the nation, rolling over the Bucks 91-76.
The Buckeyes got off to a good start in this one, down just one after the under-16 timeout. Marc Loving had five of the Buckeyes eight points, with JaQuan Lyle owning the other three. Matt Costello led Michigan State with six points on 3-of-3 shooting early, with Denzel Valentine contributing two assists.
