Heading into Sunday it would have been hard to imagine that the Ohio State basketball team could beat a top-five opponent with Deshaun Thomas shooting 4-for-16 from the field. But with Aaron Craft's career-high 21 points, the Buckeyes knocked off then-No. 4 Michigan State. So the question begs to be asked - is Craft the difference for this team?

In a game that I couldn’t necessarily see, as I was being directly blocked by the backside of the basket, Ohio State got a much needed win against a great Michigan State basketball team. From the get-go, it was clear that the “good version” of the Buckeyes were out to play. They were hustling and calm, two things that Ohio State has seemed to lack in bad losses. Although Ohio...

There's something about traveling to Northwestern that seems to summon problems for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
A year ago, the Buckeyes were ranked 10th and the Wildcats were headed for a losing record in the Big Ten. Yet it took Jared Sullinger's banked-in turnaround with 3.1 seconds left for Ohio State to escape with a 75-73 win.
In 2011, the Buckeyes were 22-0 and No....

The last time Ohio State played Northwestern, the wounded Wildcats had the Buckeyes on the ropes most of the night.
Then the Buckeyes went on a late 12-0 run to pull off a 69-59 home win that might mislead some to thinking they were more in control than they actually ever were.
The teams will meet again on Thursday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena and coach Thad Matta knows his team must...
