O So Beautiful: Wisconsin’s Ugly Pace, But OSU’s Big Ten Tourney Title
It started four weeks to the day in a hostile Madison environment. The Buckeyes were absolutely smoked by 22, getting their doors blown off from the outset in a 24-6 hole and decimating their Big Ten regular season title hopes (or so we thought).
