TEAMS: Ohio State Buckeyes,  Michigan Wolverines,  Michigan State Spartans,  Penn State Nittany Lions,  Wisconsin Badgers

Coming off of a great win against the Michigan Wolverines, the Buckeyes took on the other Michigan foe in East Lansing. In a game fought till the very end, the momentum of the home crowd ended up being too much for the Buckeyes. Turnovers mauled the Buckeyes from the opening tip, committing 14 turnovers, 5 coming within the first few minutes. Eventually, the Buckeyes found their groove and fought back from a 10-0 deficit to start the game to regain the lead with 8:33 left to play in the first half.

Buckeyes still trying to figure out who they are

With its season more than half over, No. 14 Ohio State is still trying to forge an identity. About the only thing coach Thad Matta knows about his Buckeyes (13-4, 3-2 Big Ten) heading into Tuesday night's home game with Iowa is that night, in and night out, he can pretty much count on forward Deshaun Thomas to score 20 points.
