COLUMBUS, Ohio – Gophers senior Payton Willis had Ohio State's Kyle Young right where he wanted him – backpedaling on a drive and spin move that resulted in a wide open point blank shot Tuesday night in the first half.
Willis doesn't miss much from that close range, but he came up just short. It was part of a rough shooting night for one of the top guards in the Big Ten with just five points.
That typically meant Ben Johnson's Gophers had no chance from the start to stick with a top-tier Big Ten opponent, but they still led by two points against the No. 18 Buckeyes at halftime.
