Ohio State got back in the win column Thursday, holding off a hard-charging Minnesota Golden Gopher squad to advance to the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament. OSU played much better for larger stretches of the game than what we’ve seen over the four game losing streak, but it still got a little sketchy down the stretch.
When you’re in the throws of March though, it’s all about survive and advance, and that’s exactly what the Buckeyes did, winning by a score of 79-75.
Once again, there was plenty to observe and take away from this game, and as we do every game, we’ve got some things we think we know after what we witnessed in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Here are three takeaways from Ohio State’s victory over Minnesota in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament.
