Indiana jumps Ohio State to get into the third position after a big win against in-state rival Butler. It was a deep buzzer beating three by Freshman guard Rob Phinisee that gave the Hoosier the three point victory.

Senior Forward Juwan Morgan had one of the best games of his career scoring a career high 35 points in the big victory. Indiana looks for their 10th win of the season against Central Arkansas.

Ohio State’s win over Bucknell was a nail-biter. The game was close throughout and the Buckeyes went into halftime trailing by one. They came out stronger in the second half and were able to hold off a late comeback by Bucknell to secure their 9th win of the season.

Kaleb Wesson led the team in scoring with 22 points on 6/11 shooting and also grabbed 10 rebounds for a double-double. Ohio State had 13 turnovers in the game, something that needs to be fixed before the big match up against UCLA this Saturday afternoon.
