IU takes 33-32 lead into halftime against Ohio State

After a late surge, the IU men's basketball team is leading the Ohio State Buckeyes 33-32 at the half.

No. 13/15 IU trailed the No. 2/2 Buckeyes for much of the first half but sparked a run when preseason All-American Jared Sullinger picked up his second foul.

Ohio State had its largest lead of the game up 19-9 but without Sullinger, the Hoosiers went on a 16-6 run to tie it at 25-25.

After Sullinger went out, IU forced eight Ohio State turnovers to lead them to a one-point lead at halftime.

Leading the way for the Hoosiers is senior guard Verdell Jones with 12 points and freshman forward Cody Zeller with eight points and four rebounds.

Despite shooting just 41 percent, the Hoosiers are ahead of the No. 2 team in the country.
