WATCH: What Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said about Ohio State after dramatic loss

Tom Izzo had a lot to say after Ohio State’s dramatic buzzer-beating win on Sunday. #GoBucks

After being left for dead for the season, the Ohio State basketball team is starting to turn things around a bit. First, there was the win over No. 2 Purdue, and now this, a win at Michigan State to snap a 17-game road losing streak that dated back to January 1, 2023. It’s the type of win that can go into the NCAA postseason vault if the Buckeyes can bottle up the momentum and continue to win games coming down the stretch.

There are always two sides to a dramatic win, and as elated as Ohio State fans and media are, the Michigan State side has an opposite feeling. Don’t believe us? Just ask Spartans’ head coach Tom Izzo who met with the media after the heartbreaking loss to discuss what he saw from his team and Ohio State.

In case you missed any of his comments and what he thought of the Buckeyes, we have the complete press conference thanks to Spartan Mag. Watch the below and listen to Izzo credit the Buckeyes, single out Devin Royal for his play, talk about his team’s misgivings and more.

Ohio State will now get ready to head back home to host Nebraska on Thursday. Win again and people might start to talk.

WATCH: Ohio State guard Dale Bonner hits three to shock Michigan State in East Lansing

Worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. Worth another watch if you have. #GoBucks

Rejoice Ohio State basketball fans. The often mentioned long road losing streak is finally over at 17 games after the Buckeyes beat Michigan State in East Lansing in very dramatic fashion.

In case you missed the last, frenzied effort by OSU, one that ended with .2 seconds left when the ball hit nothing but net to steal a victory on the road in a hostile environment, we’ve got the video for you.

You won’t be disappointed.

Watch as Ohio State point guard Bruce Thornton takes the ball down the sideline in traffic, then dishes it down to fellow guard Dale Bonner who unleashes a desperate, fall-away three-pointer right close to the buzzer to shock whomever and whatever was watching all of the action.

Maybe, just maybe, this win, in combination with the major upset over Purdue will set up things for an end of the year run.

Ohio State basketball stuns Michigan State in East Lansing in dramatic fashion

What a finish! #GoBucks

The most talked about losing streak in perhaps Ohio State basketball history is over. After losing seventeen straight road games dating back to January of 2023, the Buckeyes won at Michigan State in dramatic fashion to put that conversation to an end.

It looked to be another loss for OSU early on, with the Spartans taking modest control of the game throughout, leading by 12 a couple of times and enjoying a ten point or so lead for a large part of the second half.

But OSU stayed tough and wouldn’t go down without a fight, clawing things back to six points on a couple of occasions before getting within one possession and swapping the lead late to set up the dramatics.

With the game tied and just over six seconds left, Bruce Thornton began a last ditch, full-court drive along the sideline in traffic before finding Dale Bonner who lofted an off-balance three pointer that hit nothing but net with .02 seconds left to win the game.

Ohio State wouldn’t have been in that position had it not been for freshman Devin Royal who had a career high 14 points on 6-of-8 shots from the field. His poise and ability to make plays in big spots kept the Buckeyes in arm’s reach throughout the second half.

But it wasn’t just Royal.

Three other OSU players finished in double figures. Roddy Gayle Jr. scored 12, Bruce Thornton chipped in 11, and Felix Okpara tallied ten and also played great defense on the back-end.

With the win, Ohio State improves its overall record to 16-12 and its conference mark to 6-11. The Buckeyes will try to build on the dramatics when they host Nebraska at home on Thursday.
