BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -
Deshaun Thomas and Aaron Craft scored
nine of Ohio State's points in a decisive 11-2 run, leading the
14th-ranked Buckeyes past No. 2 Indiana 67-58 on Tuesday night.
Thomas finished with 18 points and Craft added 15 as the
Buckeyes (22-7, 12-5 Big Ten) won their fourth straight.
Indiana had big plans for Senior Night.
After clinching a share of its conference league title in 11
years with losses by Michigan State and Wisconsin on Sunday, the
Hoosiers (25-5, 13-4) were trying to claim their first outright Big
Ten crown since 1993. They will have another chance Sunday at No. 7
Michigan.
Cody Zeller scored 17 points and Christian Watford added 12 but
the Hoosiers weren't themselves.
Ohio State retook the lead midway through the second half when
Indiana went more than 5 minutes without a basket, took control
with the late run and never allowed the Hoosiers to get closer than
six points.
