After upsetting the Buckeyes 74-70 on Dec. 31 in Bloomington, IU will face a much tougher task facing Ohio State on the road.
Missed layups and 23 turnovers would make it hard for any team to win a basketball game. And for an IU women’s basketball team (5-13, 0-5) that traveled to Michigan State (12-5, 4-0) Thursday night searching for its first Big Ten Conference win of the season, it proved too much.
It’s no secret that the matchup of IU freshman forward Cody Zeller and Ohio State sophomore forward Jared Sullinger has garnered some headlines. Sullinger was named the 2011 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, while Zeller has already won the Big Ten Freshman of the Week award five times this season.

It wasn’t the typical way for Matt Roth to get going. Roth got an open look from 3-point range, the place he had scored 82 percent of his points. But instead of pulling the trigger, Roth saw Penn State guard Nick Colella closing out on him and pump-faked. He got Colella in the air, drew the foul and knocked down three free throws for a five-point lead at halftime.
The Golden Gophers almost had me fooled. Sporting a 12-1 record entering Big Ten season, Minnesota seemed like it could actually be a contender.
