Three takeaways from Ohio State basketball’s win over Northwestern

Ohio State split the season series against Northwestern by controlling most of the game Wednesday night. Here are three takeaways.

After letting one get away in Evanston a couple of weeks ago, Ohio State was able to get a little bit of revenge against the Northwestern Wildcats Wednesday. The Buckeyes led almost the entire game, absorbed a late run, but pulled away at the end to win a key Big Ten matchup 81-71

There’s a lot to unpack here since Ohio State was without its two main ball-handlers. The Buckeyes still found a way to beat a team that can get hot from beyond the arc and make life difficult on any team.

As we do after every game, here are three things we can take away from the OSU’ win over Northwestern to run their overall record to 10-3, and the Big Ten record to 4-3.
