Ohio State 64 Nebraska 59

It was another ugly college basketball game, with the refs doing a very good job.

Ohio State(18-4, 9-0 Big) escaped a very scrappy Nebraska (14-8, 5-4 Conf) team last night in Columbus) The Buckeyes only shot 44.2% of their shots, while Nebraska hit a colder 38.9% of theirs.

Leading the Buckeyes was,Keita Bates-Diop(Normal, Ill) with 20 points and 6 rebounds. The Buckeyes bench only scored three points.

Nebraska was led by,James Palmer Jr.(Upper Marlboro, MD) with a game high 34 points. The Nebraska bench totaled 4 points.

The Buckeyes have already matched last year's win total. They play the next three at the home -- PSU, Ind., & Ill all win able games.
