Despite losing on a last-second shot, Ohio State showed resilience on the road against Purdue, nearly stealing a win after going down 20 in the second half.
Purdue went up 20 with 14:35 to play in front of a roaring home crowd at Mackey Arena, and things had completely gotten away from Ohio State. Fourteen minutes and nine seconds later, the Buckeyes found themselves in a tied game with a chance to get one last defensive stop to send the Boilermakers into overtime.
Ohio State looked overmatched early. Despite keeping it relatively close by the halfway point, it was clear that Purdue’s inside-outside duo of Ivey and 7-foot-4 center Zach Edey might be too potent for the Buckeyes to keep up with. “ is a load. And the way they shoot it at all four spots makes it difficult," Holtmann said. "Matt’s always run, for years, run great actions for all their bigs. We’ve seen them for years, whether it’s at Butler or here coaching against him. They always run actions to get the bigs in great spots. Obviously I think he’s the best of their bigs that I’ve coached against.”
Cedric Russell and Eugene Brown combined to score 14 of 20 points for Ohio State from 13:55 to 7:06, a stretch where the Buckeyes made up considerable ground. Through roughly the same period, Purdue missed nine of its 11 shot attempts. The next basket for Ohio State following that run from Russell and Brown made it a nine-point game, and the Buckeyes continued shaving into the Boilermaker lead from there.
