MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Jared Sullinger scored 24 points and
William Buford hit a critical 3-pointer down the stretch, helping
No. 3 Ohio State beat No. 19 Wisconsin 58-52 on Saturday.
Deshaun Thomas scored 16 points and Buford added 11 for the
Buckeyes (20-3, 8-2 Big Ten), who held onto their lead in the
conference standings. Sullinger also had 10 rebounds.
Ryan Evans scored 14 points for the Badgers (18-6, 7-4), who
were 5 for 27 from 3-point range.
With the victory, Ohio State ended a nine-game losing streak to
Wisconsin in Madison - and avoided a repeat of last year's comeback
by the Badgers.
The Badgers had no answer for Sullinger early on. He scored the
Buckeyes' first nine points, consistently getting the best of the
player assigned to defend him, Jared Berggren. Sullinger finished
the first half with 16 points.
