The Buckeyes fell down early and could never quite reel in the Spartans completely despite a valiant comeback effort in the second half. At one point, Ohio State pulled to within three points after being down by 20, trying to make things very interesting down the stretch. In the end, though, it was too big of a hole to climb out of in an 84-78 defeat on senior night in East Lansing.
Despite the loss, there were still some moments that made you believe Ohio State could be a tough out in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament because of improved play over the last four games.
Some of those moments were captured in some pretty amazing high-resolution photos that we’re sharing with you.
