If you would have told me after the Purdue game that:

1. EJ would come back in and foul out early in the 2nd half
2. Ohio State would shoot 6/18 from 3
and
3. fUCLA would have a big rebounding edge for most of the game

That Ohio State would win by 7, I'd take it immediately.

Yup. Very nice bounce back win. Looking forward to seeing more Eugene Brown in the future. Key continues to be my favorite freshman.

I only got to watch most of the first half ( I think we were up 25-24) but although the margin was small, I really liked how we were playing. Very active movement on both ends and sharing the ball pretty well. Good to see we were able to close the game out.

UCLA looked like a decent team to me with aggressive defense so I think this will be a quality win.

Go Bucks!

NO. 20 OHIO STATE KNOCKS OFF UCLA IN CHAMPIONS CLASSIC, 77-70

This was, by far the most important game of the day for Ohio State.

While the football team was playing in the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis, the men's basketball team took on UCLA in the Champion's Classic and knocked off the Bruins, 77-70.

TEAM 1 2 FINAL
UCLA................ 38 32 70
#20 OHIO STATE 39 39 77

In a game that went largely how it was expected to (a grind-it-out, close affair) Ohio State took a one-point lead into the locker room behind a balanced scoring effort. The second half featured more of the same, with the Buckeyes pulling away in the last four minutes after trailing by as many as six midway through the second half.

Duane Washington was the leading scorer for Ohio State, who scored 14 points on an inefficient 4-12 shooting. Freshman Zed Key added 11, while Eugene Brown knocked down three triples. Seth Towns made his Buckeyes debut after transferring from Harvard in the offseason, playing two minutes and missing his only field goal attempt. It was his first action since 2018, when he was named the Ivy League Player of the Year.

For the Bruins, Cody Riley led all scorers with 15 in the loss. Kentucky transfer Johnny Juzang had 13, while Tyger Campbell outdueled Duane Washington's inefficiency with a 1-10, three-point effort....:no:
