The Ohio State basketball team battled hard and went toe-to-toe with No. 1 Purdue on Thursday night but lost a close one 71-69 after squandering a three-point lead with under a minute left.
Purdue was simply able to execute better than the Buckeyes down the stretch, and that seems to be a continuing theme with the OSU program and it once again bit the Bucks down the stretch. Still, there were moments when Ohio State looked like the better team by doing some really good things at both ends of the court.
