While yesterday’s victory over Purdue was a battle until very late in the contest, the Buckeyes took joy in blasting the rival Wolverines from the beginning. After a 16-3 start, the Wolverines never recovered as Aaron Craft shutdown Trey Burke (1-for-11, 5 points, 8 turnovers) and Jared Sullinger and Deshaun Thomas were at it once again (Sullinger 24 points, 6 rebounds; Thomas 22 points, 6 rebounds). OSU scored 40 points in the paint for a second straight game and demolished Michigan 77-55 in the Big Ten Semifinals. The Buckeyes face the top-seed tomorrow, the Michigan State Spartans in the Bucks’ fourth straight Big Ten Championship Game, going for their third straight tourney title. The victor in that game still has a shot at a number one seed in the NCAA tournament.
