Ohio State fans got a nail-biter as the Buckeyes pulled off a gritty 86-82 win over Northwestern to kick off their Big Ten run. Brandon Noel was nearly unstoppable, dropping 29 points on just 15 shots, and Bruce Thornton’s double-double kept the offense humming. The game swung back and forth until the final seconds, with Ohio State sealing it at the free-throw line after a late Northwestern surge. Meanwhile, Cleveland State struggled against Detroit Mercy, falling to 0-2 in Horizon League play. What do you think—can Ohio State keep this momentum going? #Sports #OhioState #Buckeyes
