Hoosiers suffer worst loss of season to Buckeyes

There were plenty of questions surrounding the health of Ohio State guard Evan Turner, but they were all for naught. He wasn’t needed.

Turner began the game with a one-handed dunk, but the score was one of the only 3 points he scored in nine minutes of play in a first half that ended 38-20.

More intriguing were the road struggles of IU. They had 14 first half turnovers and shot 6-of-20 from the field.

Ohio State was 11-of-23 for the half and shot 50 percent from 3 while the Hoosiers struggled to 2-of-8 from outside the arc.

IU had shown promise against Michigan, but no Hoosier stood out against the Buckeyes. The leading scorer was freshman forward Christian Watford who had 8 points. He was followed by sophomore guard Verdell Jones with 6 points.
