Ohio State rallies past Northwestern again; No. 3 Duke goes down
’Cats can’t beat back Buckeyes
Lenzelle Smith scored a season-high 24 points, Deshaun Thomas
added 19 and No. 16 Ohio State used a late run to beat
Northwestern 63-53 on Thursday night in Evanston.
The Buckeyes (21-7, 11-5 Big Ten) moved one-half game ahead of Michigan and took sole possession of fourth place in the Big Ten with another difficult win over a team that’s given them fits in recent years.
This time, they led by 11 points early in the second half and regrouped after Northwestern took the lead, sending the Wildcats (13-16, 4-12) to their sixth straight loss and eighth in nine games.
