COLUMBUS, Ohio. - With the team's leading scorer, Jon Leuer, off the court with a broken wrist, the Wisconsin Badgers couldn't come up with much inside scoring. That cost them in a 60-51 loss to Ohio State.
Less than three weeks ago the Badgers had beaten the Buckeyes by 22 points at home. Ohio State standout Evan Turner spent most of the game in foul trouble, sitting out 14 minutes of the first half. He still scored 15 points. Trevon Hughes led Wisconsin with 18.
One the keys to victory for the Buckeyes was their ability to build the lead with Turner on the bench. Then, they used a 15-4 run in the second half to pull away and even their Big Ten Conference record at 3-3.
Wisconsin came in ranked number-13 in the nation. The Badgers record drops to 14-4, including 4-2 in conference play. UW finally returns home to face Michigan Wednesday.
