The game never needed to get there in the first place. Ohio State once again had large stretches of sloppy play. The Buckeyes turned the ball over at inopportune times, allowed too many offensive rebounds, and had too many befuddling offensive possessions.

The last two games were rough for Indiana, but the Hoosiers are hoping for a bounce back effort against the Buckeyes.

Indiana men’s basketball’s senior guards made perhaps the two biggest plays in the Hoosiers’ 77-76 overtime win over Ohio State (10-8, 2-5 Big Ten) in Columbus. Goode nailed a game-winning 3-pointer with just over one minute remaining, while Leal blocked Ohio State freshman guard John Mobley Jr.’s mid-range jumper with three seconds left.
