The Jake Diebler era of Ohio State basketball started off with a bang, as the Buckeyes upset No. 2 Purdue 73-69 at home on Sunday afternoon.
Many believed that OSU had no chance against the most likely top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, but that clearly wasn’t the case. Ohio State closed out the game by making its free throws and came away with a huge win.
The victory still really won’t help the Buckeyes case for making the tournament, but it did improve their record to 15-11, 5-10 in conference play.
