Ohio State cops Big Ten title over Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Badgers were able to hold superstar center Greg Oden scoreless in the first half, but it still wasn’t enough as they fell to the Ohio State Buckeyes 66-49 on Sunday.
Oden finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds after playing just 6 minutes in the first half, but Conley and Lewis did enough to lift Ohio State (30-3) to an easy cover of the -2-point spread and Big Ten title.
Conley had eight assists and six rebounds, and Lewis was 6-for-12, including 2-for-4 on 3-pointers.
The Buckeyes were able to beat Wisconsin without a stellar performance from Oden mostly because Big Ten player of the year Alando Tucker was ice-cold from the field. He was 4-of-13 from the field for Wisconsin and finished with 10 points.
The Badgers (29-5) never found their stroke, going 21-for-57 overall and 4-for-23 on 3-pointers. They also committed 17 turnovers.
This victory undoubtedly makes them a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
