Ohio State basketball trails Wisconsin headed to the break

Ohio State trails Wisconsin at the half despite a quick start. Sloppy play and bad shooting allowed the Badgers back in it.

The Wisconsin Badgers have stormed back to take a 29-25 halftime lead into the locker room over Ohio State at Value City Arena.

Nate Reuvers leads the Badgers with 10 points at the break, while Kaleb Wesson ties the Wisconsin forward with 10 of his own for Ohio State.

The Buckeyes have looked sluggish ever since their impressive win over No. 17 Kentucky at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, dropping the Cleveland Classic on Sunday to West Virginia.

With 20 minutes left in this scrappy Big Ten brawl, it’s time for Chris Holtmann’s bunch to regroup and pull out a much-needed home victory in conference play. The schedule doesn’t get much easier throughout the month with a trip to Maryland on Tuesday, but this is a game the Buckeyes must have.
