Minnesota Golden Gophers
Last time out, Minnesota hosted the Nebraska Cornhuskers and lost 81-79 in overtime. This was an entertaining game to watch as it was back-and-forth for all 45 minutes. The Golden Gophers sent the game to OT with a three pointer with four seconds to left, but could not get the job done in the final five minutes. Minnesota never led by more than seven points, never trailed by more than seven, and was able to cover the +3.0-point spread.
Jamison Battle had 20 points, two rebounds, and three assists on the day. Dawson Garcia went off for 19 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, and one block in the defeat.

Ohio State Buckeyes
Ohio State visited the Maryland Terrapins and left with a poor 80-73 loss. The Buckeyes had a great first half, leading by five at halftime, but it was all Terps in the second half. Maryland came out of the break on fire, quickly took the lead, and never looked back. Ohio State led by as many as five points, trailed by as much as 14, and could not cover the +1.5-point spread.
Brice Sensabaugh had 22 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block on the day. Justice Sueing added 21 points, five rebounds, one assist, and one steal in the defeat.
