Who wouldn’t want to play with a guy like that? For what he does on the court and how he brings it back to his teammates … every day he comes in with the same attitude that he wants to get better.” - Jon Diebler, teammate and roommate “Evan Turner has become maybe the most versatile player in the country. There doesn’t seem to be anything he can’t do,” – ESPN analyst Andy Katz “He’s the best player I’ve ever guarded. He looks like he’s loose with the ball, but he has it on a string. He can spin in the lane, he can shoot it and has a nice pull-up. He has everything working for him. He’s a stud ... I think Evan is the best player in the country.” – Chris Kramer, Purdue senior guard, 3-time Big Ten All-Defensive Team, 2008 Defensive POY. evan “There really isn’t anything that he can’t do well.

In just four seasons has a Buckeye made 80 or more 3s in a season. Diebler has two of those after knocking down 96 2009-10 Ohio State Men’s Basketball-6 treys as a sophomore. Diebler set the single season record for made 3s in a season after knocking down 11 treys in Milwaukee.

David Lighty reached 1,000 points with 18 vs. Georgia Tech Sunday. He is the third Buckeye along with Evan Turner and Diebler to achieve the feat this season. Diebler has 1,065 career points after knocking down 20 points vs. Georgia Tech Sunday. Lighty is the 46th player to reach 1,000 points in an Ohio State uniform. Sophomore William Buford has 889 career points in 69 career games. Matta earns third big ten title Ohio State earned a share the Big Ten title after the win vs. Illinois in the regular-season finale March 2. Ohio State finished 14-4 in league play after winning 13 of its last 14 games following a 1-3 start to the league schedule. The Illini win secured Ohio State’s third conference crown in six years for head coach Thad Matta. He led the Buckeyes to the top spot in both 2006 and 2007. Ohio State also won the football and women’s basketball regular season titles in 2006, 2007 and 2010, the only Big Ten School to ever secure all three titles in the same season. Not since Coach Fred Taylor led Ohio State to five-consecutive titles from 1960-64 has an Ohio State coach led the Buckeyes to three titles in a five year span. Matta has led Ohio State to a school record six-consecutive seasons with at least 20 wins and five years in a row with at least 10 conference wins, which ties Taylor’s stretch from 1960-64. Overall, Ohio State has won 18 Big Ten titles, 12 outright. Matta has coached six teams to regular season conference championships. His 2000-01 team claimed the Midwestern Collegiate Conference title in his only season at Butler. While coaching Xavier (2002-04), Matta earned the Atlantic 10 regular season title in 2002 and 2003. Since joining Ohio State, Matta’s teams won the Big Ten in 2006, 2007 and 2010. Matta teams also have won four conference tournament titles (2001, 2002, 2004, 2007 and have made the league title game six times (2006, 2009). Buckeyes Bid Farewell to Five Seniors Before the Illinois game March 2, the Ohio State men’s basketball program recognized five seniors who have helped accumulate several lofty achievements during their tenures. Kyle Madsen, P.J. Hill, Jeremie Simmons, Danny Peters and Mark Titus were in uniform for the final time as Buckeyes in Value City Arena. Peters and Titus have been part of 109 victories during their four years in uniform. The four-year victories record for scholarship players is 105. Madsen started his career as a Buckeye on the sidelines following a transfer from Vanderbilt. He worked against three first-round NBA draft choices during his time in Columbus (Greg Oden, Kosta Koufos, B.J. Mullens) and is seeing the benefits this year as one of Ohio State’s most valuable reserves. Hill helped the Buckeyes to the 2008 National Invitation Tournament Championship and to the 2009 NCAA Tournament a year ago. Simmons played a key role in Ohio State’s 2009 Big Ten Tournament Title game appearance as well as the NCAA tournament qualification. All five will end their careers in NCAA tournament play as well in 2010, Ohio State’s 22nd appearance in the event. Buckeyes earn Trifecta, again Thad Matta’s third Big Ten title gives Ohio State league titles in the same year in football and men’s and women’s basketball for the third time in five seasons. No Big Ten school has accomplished the feat other than Ohio State. The three teams won outright titles in all three sports in 2007. Football shared in 2006 and the 2010 men’s basketball team share the title. Turner Earns Record Big Ten Awards Evan Turner collected his second weekly laurel in as many weeks after leading the Buckeyes to a pair of wins in Big Ten action while averaging 21.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists the week of Feb. 22. Against Penn State, the junior lit up the scoreboard with 25 points on 8-of-17 (.471) shooting while registering an unblemished 9-of-9 mark from the foul line. The 6-7 swingman showcased his versatility by adding seven rebounds, seven helpers and three steals in the road win in State College, Pa. The Chicago native carried that momentum into the home victory over Michigan, posting his 13th double-double of the season, and 24th overall, with 11 rebounds and 18 points while connecting on eight-of-11 from the floor. Turner also added a career-high four blocked shots against the Wolverines while dishing seven assists.

For each of the last 10 seasons, all as a head coach, Thad Matta has guided teams to at least 20 victories. Only Mark Few, among active coaches, has more consecutive 20-win seasons to start a ca- reer (11). Matta set the Ohio State record for consecutive 20-win campaigns last year with a 22-11 record. He now has led six-consecutive Buckeye teams to 20+ wins. The previous record was four held by the 1960-63 teams under legendary head coach Fred Taylor. Matta also has won at least 10 Big Ten regularseason games in each of the last five seasons, tying Taylor’s mark of 10+ league wins in each of the seasons from 1960-64. Those were during 14game regular-season slates. The Big Ten played a 16-game schedule in Matta’s first three seasons (8, 12, 15 league wins) and an 18-game schedule the last two (10, 10, 14). Ohio State enters the 2010 NCAA Tournament Regional Semifinals with a 29-7 overall record and a 14-4 record in league play. The game vs. Purdue Feb. 17 also was the 200th for Matta as head coach of the Buckeyes. He enters the postseason with a record of 156-53 at Ohio State.

BUCKEYES PICKED 3RD IN BIG TEN PRESEASON MEDIA POLL Evan Turner was tabbed a preseason first team All-Big Ten selection by league media at the annual media day in Chicago. Turner is the league’s top returning scorer (17 ppg.). He led the Buckeyes in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals as a sophomore last year. Thad Matta’s Buckeyes were selected No. 3 in the preseason media poll behind Michigan State and Purdue. 2009-10 Ohio State Men’s Basketball-9 Six Student-Athletes Added to Men’s Basketball Program Thad Matta, Ohio State head coach, announced the addition of six student-athletes to the Buckeye men’s basketball program Nov. 11. The class of six high school seniors is rated by many analysts as the No. 1 class in the nation and will be eligible to play for the Buckeyes in the fall of 2010. The highly-touted class includes a quartet of Ohioans and natives of Illinois and Indiana. Jared Sullinger, a 6-foot-9-inch power forward from Northland High School in Columbus, Ohio, is rated in most major recruiting publications as the No. 1 player at his position and the No. 1, 2 or 3 player overall nationally. His high school teammate, 6-6 small forward J.D. Weatherspoon, is ranked among the nation’s best at his position. Ft. Wayne, Ind. (Bishop Luers) product Deshaun Thomas (6-7 forward) is the No. 1 small forward in the country. He’ll be joined by Lenzelle Smith, Jr. (6-4, guard) one of the top shooting guard prospects and a consensus Top 75 recruit. Aaron Craft, a 6-2 point guard, from Findlay (Ohio) Liberty Benton, and Cincinnati, Ohio, native Jordan Sibert (6-4 guard) round out the Class of 2010. Craft and Sibert are both considered to be Top 100 by major recruiting services. Sullinger and Weatherspoon led Northland to its first state championship as juniors in 2009. Sullinger made the winning free throws with three seconds remaining. He was named Mr. Basketball for the state of Ohio after averaging 19.9 points and 14.8 rebounds last season and is considered to be one of the top prospects in America. The power forward is the brother of former Buckeye J.J. Sullinger. As a sophomore, Jared was named Third-Team All-Ohio. Weatherspoon averaged nearly 15 points and 8.0 rebounds a game as a junior and was Northland’s leading scorer (18 pts.) in the state championship game. The past three summers, Sullinger and Weatherspoon led their AAU team, All-Ohio Red, to a 201-9 record, collecting 29 titles out of 33 tournaments entered, including three national titles. Thomas is one of the most sought-after recruits to come out of the basketball-rich state of Indiana. The Fort Wayne native led his high school, Bishop Luers, to back-to-back state champion- ships. In the process, Thomas has established himself as one of the state’s most prolific scorers. He is already Luers all-time leading scorer. As a junior, he averaged 30.3 points to go along with 15.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.5 blocks. During the state basketball tournament, Thomas averaged 23.4 points. He is currently the 11th all-time scorer in Indiana high school history, needing just more than 800 points this season to surpass Damon Bailey as the all-time leading scorer for the state of Indiana. Thomas has averaged more than 29 points in his career. Smith, a bigger guard who has a knack for distributing the basketball, will add a new dimension to the Buckeyes’ guard play. The 6-4, 210 pound lefty can shoot the three off the catch or dribble and is able to post up smaller defenders with his unusual size for a guard. Smith was first-team all-state last season and led Zion-Benton High School to a state runner-up finish in 2008. He is one of the top guard recruits in the country and was coveted by more than a dozen teams. Along with his basketball skills, Smith is a star in the classroom, carrying a 4.1 grade-point average. Craft has made a name for himself with his stout defense and is considered one of the best guard defenders for the Class of 2010. Craft led Liberty-Benton High School to a state runner-up finish his freshman season and was named FirstTeam All-Ohio as a junior. He can also create opportunities for himself, averaging 19 points last year. He is an all-around point guard and has the qualities that should help him excel as a Buckeye. He too played for All-Ohio Red in the summers. In addition, Craft carries a 4.0 grade-point average. Sibert also played for All-Ohio Red. The shooting guard from Cincinnati led Princeton High School to a state runner-up finish last season, losing in the championship game to Northland High School and fellow OSU recruits Jared Sullinger and J.D. Weatherspoon. Sibert scored 21 points in the title game and was named Honorable Mention All-Ohio. Sibert is known for his ability to slash between defenders and get to the rim with his speed and athleticism. He suffered a leg injury after his high school season last summer and was not able to compete in the summer of 2009.

To see his maturity over the course of time, not only on the court but off the court ... the humility, the drive, the passion, that’s what you love about a guy like Evan Turner. As new players come in and everybody says I want to be like ET, let me tell you, here’s what ET does in the off-season, here’s what he does after practice, here’s what he does before practice. So there’s a work ethic, a pattern that kids want to emulate.” Thad Matta, Ohio State head coach “At 6-7, 205, Evan Turner is the most versatile player in the country. Thad Matta has him doing everything on the court: rebounding, passing, shooting. He makes everybody else around him better. It’s about time we put Evan Turner in talks about national player of the year.” -- Jay Williams, ESPN “He is just a tremendous player. He is as good as I have played against in a number of years. Not only is he talented, but he has a court sense and awareness that kind of separates him from just the good players. He’s a guy that makes a difference because not only can he create for himself, but he can create for his teammates as well.” --Leonard Hamilton, Florida State head coach “I think Evan’s conversion to point guard has been a spectacular success. Just putting the ball in his hands wasn’t going to make him Steve Nash, but he’s made good decisions, he’s been generally efficient and he’s run the offense without sacrificing the thing he does better than any college perimeter player: offensvie rebounding. I’ve been amazed by how many people still feel it necessary to qualify that Evan’s “not really a point guard.” He is for now, and a darned good one.” -Mike DeCourcy, Sporting News “Evan Turner has become maybe the most versatile player in the country. There doesn’t seem to be anything he can’t do. If he keeps this up it will be hard to keep him off the Big Ten player of the year line or first team All-American.” -Andy Katz, ESPN “Evan Turner is the most versatile player in college basketball. I don’t know what to be more impressed with: the scoring (more than 20 points per game), the boarding (13 rebounds), the passing (seven assists) or the judicious shot selection (62 percent from the field). He was really good last year, but the improvement in his game since then shows he wasn’t satisfied with merely being good. It’s way early to start thinking about Player of the Year awards, but in my mind the line starts with Turner.” -Pat Forde, ESPN.com “(Evan Turner) is a great guy. He has worked very hard on his game. Each year, you can see him improve. He had a good freshman year and then a great sophomore year. He has solidified himself as one of the best five to 10 players in the country. He has been putting up astronomical numbers in terms of rebounding and assists and scoring while play2009-10 Ohio State Men’s Basketball-12 ing the point at 6-7. He is developing into a Scottie Pippen-type player. He has a chance to be special, so any time you hear news like this where he is going to be out, it’s a blow to Ohio State, a blow to the Big Ten and a blow to college basketball. He is one of college basketball’s stars. Hopefully, he can get back and get 100 percent healthy.” -- Matt Painter, Purdue head coach Feb. 17, 2010 ``...Evan Turner is the best player in the country,” Painter said. ``He can hurt you in so many ways. He’s a lead guard who can defend and play three or four positions. He gets assists, rebounds and scores. I’m biased because he’s in the Big Ten, but he’s deserving. Here’s a kid who came back from a serious injury, not just a bum ankle. Not only has he come back; but look what he’s done since he came back.” -- Matt Painter, Purdue head coach “He’s the best player I’ve ever guarded. He looks like he’s loose with the ball, but he has it on a string. He can spin in the lane, he can shoot it and has a nice pull-up. He has everything working for him. He’s a stud ... I think Evan is the best player in the country.” -- Chris Kramer, Purdue senior guard, 3-time Big Ten All-Defensive Team, 2008 Defensive POY. “Haven’t seen a better player in the country than Evan Turner. Not Wall, Cousins, W. Johnson...the NPOY discussion should start in Columbus.” -- Paul Klee, Champaign News Gazette, via Twitter “(Turner) rebounds pretty well on the defensive end, and when he gets it, he goes, like Magic Johnson did.” -- Tom Izzo, Michigan State head coach “There really isn’t anything that he can’t do well. The best part of Evan Turner is all the parts.” -- Bo Ryan, Wisconsin Head Coach “He’s different, because you see all these big-time players and he’s the least flashy, most productive big-time player. That’s the best I can put it. He just does his job. He’s got a little bit of flash, got a lot better ballhandling over the past three years. He knows what he has to do and just does it more than any other player I’ve played against.” -- Stu Douglass, Michigan Guard “Turner certainly is one of the few guys that you can just give him the ball at 17 feet and he can make a shot over somebody at 10 [feet]. And there’s not a whole lot of defenses for that.” -- John Beilein, Michigan head coach Noting ET • Against ranked opponents, Turner averages 23.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, shoots 51 pct. from the field (69-135) has 36 assists and 11 steals. • One of 34 NCAA Division I players to record multiple triple-doubles in a single season.-ESPN • Became Ohio State’s 44th 1,000-point scorer with 16 points vs. St. Francis (Pa.)

The Buckeyes’ best player, however, has been consistent all season. Evan Turner had 26 points and 14 rebounds, his fourth double-double in as many games, and No. 15 Ohio State beat No. 13 California 76-70 in the third-place game of the 2K Sports Classic. The Buckeyes went through an opposite experience from their 77-73 loss to No. 6 North Carolina in the semifinals of the tournament that benefits Coaches vs. Cancer. Ohio State trailed by 19 points in the second half against the Tar Heels and was able to finally start hitting from long range and get within two in the final seconds. Against the Golden Bears, the Buckeyes used a 21-3 run spanning halftime to take a 52-28 lead with 15:40 to play. California answered right away with a 17-4 run - two of Ohio State’s points came on a technical foul against Cal coach Mike Montgomery - to get within single digits with 11:28 to go. The Bears took advantage of Ohio State suddenly having trouble taking care of the ball to get within 63-57 with 5:09 left. But Turner, who had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 turnovers against North Carolina, scored eight of the Buckeyes’ next 10 points. Turner became the first Ohio State player to have four straight double-doubles since Terence Dials had five in a row in February 2006 on his way to being Big Ten player of the year. Notes: • The Buckeyes knotted the series with the Bears at 9-all with the 76-70 victory. Ohio State has won the last three in the series. • Evan Turner continued on his hot start to the season with a game-high 26 points and 14 rebounds. He has reached 10 or more points and rebounds in each of Ohio State’s first four games. • Ohio State is 338-99 all-time when ranked among the Associated Press Top 25 team. The Buckeyes went 1-1 in New York as the No. 15 team nationally. • Thad Matta is 232-78 as a collegiate head coach and 130-47 as the head coach of the Buckeyes in his six seasons in Columbus. • Dallas Lauderdale tied his career high with seven blocks vs. the Bears. He set his personal best on the same date (11/20) as a sophomore vs. Delaware State with seven rejections. • Ohio State has won four of the last six games played at Madison Square Garden. The Buckeyes split the 2007 Preseason NIT with a victory over Syracuse and a loss to Texas A&M. Wins vs. Mississippi and UMass led to the 2008 Postseason NIT Title. The Buckeyes fell to North Carolina before the win over California. Game 5 No. 17 Ohio State 84, Lipscomb 64 Nov. 24, 2009, Columbus COLUMBUS - David Lighty scored a career-high 22 points and Evan Turner had his second triple-double of the season to lead No. 17 Ohio State past Lipscomb 84-64. Turner finished with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. In the season-opening 100-60 win over Alcorn State, he picked up only the second recorded triple-double at Ohio State with 14 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists. Jon Diebler added 17 points, Dallas Lauderdale 13 points and Jeremie Simmons 11 points for Ohio State. Adnan Hodzic scored 18 points and Michael Teller added 11 for Lipscomb Lighty hit 9 of 14 shots from the field and matched his career high with three 3-pointers in as many attempts. He also had seven rebounds. Lipscomb, which came in giving up 93 points a game, more than held its own for most of the game. The Bisons never led in the second but refused to let Ohio State pull away. The Buckeyes, ahead by nine at the half, scored the first six points after the break on a Turner steal and layup, a Lighty rebound follow and a Lighty tip. But the Bisons got as close as eight points and stayed within a dozen until the final few minutes. The Bisons hung with the Buckeyes throughout the first half. Diebler hit two late 3s to help Ohio State take a 36-27 lead. Notes: • Junior guard Evan Turner had his second triple-double of the season with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. He becomes the first OSU player to get multiple triple-doubles in a season. It was the third accomplished in school history. • The game was the first meeting between Ohio State and Lipscomb. The Buckeyes are now 10-0 against teams from the Atlantic Sun Conference. • Ohio State is 339-99 when ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 and 11-1 as No. 17. • The Buckeyes shot 51.9 percent (14-of-27) from the field and 63.6 percent (7-of-11) from the 3-point line in the first half. For the game OSU shot 57.9 percent (33-of-57) from the field and 50 percent (11-of-22) from the three-point line. • Junior guard David Lighty led the team in scoring with a career-high 22 points. He also tied a career high with three made 3-point baskets. • Lighty scored his 600th career point. • Junior forward Jon Diebler made his 200th career field goal with a bucket in the first half. • Junior center Dallas Lauderdale scored his 200th career point in the first half. • The Buckeyes had five players reach double figures in scoring (Lighty - 22, Diebler – 17, Turner - 16, Lauderdale – 13, Simmons - 11). • Lauderdale’s 13 points is a career high. • The Buckeyes have won 66 of their last 67 games against unranked opponents in Columbus (62 in Value City Arena, 3 in St. John Arena and 1 in Nationwide Arena). Their last loss to an unranked team was vs. West Virginia, Dec. 27, 2008 (76-48). • The Buckeyes used a 20-5 run over a 4:32 span at the end of the first half and beginning of the second to build a 15-point lead. • Under Matta, OSU is 75-2 against unranked opponents in Columbus, including a 70-2 mark in VCA, 4-0 in St. John Arena and 1-0 in Nationwide Arena.

It was the Buckeyes’ first home game without injured star Evan Turner. David Lighty led Ohio State with 20 points, while William Buford added 11 and Dallas Lauderdale 10. Walt Allen had 13 points for the Blue Hose. Turner, who was averaging a double-double, broke two bones in his lower back on Dec. 5 after his hands slipped off the rim during a dunk and he fell to the court. He sat on the bench in street clothes, cheering and joining in the huddles. The only previous time the teams met two years ago, the Buckeyes scored the first 16 points. They rattled off the first 14 this time while the Blue Hose missed their first four shots and had five turnovers before finally getting on the board on Jay Reynolds’ wide-open inside shot 5:13 into the game. Over the same span, the Buckeyes were 5 of 8 from the field including two 3-pointers, both by Diebler. Ohio State had a particularly good first half behind the arc, making 9 of 17 shots. That’s a sharp contrast to what Presbyterian did offensively, hitting nine field goals from the field in 27 attempts, with nine turnovers to fall behind 53-21 at halftime. COLUMBUS - William Buford scored 18 points and carried the load in the second half to lead No. 18 Ohio State past Delaware State 60-44. David Lighty added 12 points and Dallas Lauderdale had 11 for the Buckeyes, who shot 60 percent from the field. Frisco Sandidge had 13 points for the Hornets. Ahead 25-17 at the half, the Buckeyes slowly pulled away. Lauderdale’s dunk off an assist from Lighty gave the Buckeyes their first double-digit lead at 32-21 with 16:42 left. They maintained it for the next 10 minutes before Buford scored seven Ohio State points in a row and then came up with a loose ball and fed Jon Diebler for a 3-pointer from the left corner that pushed the lead to 50-36 with 5:16 remaining. The Buckeyes stretched the lead to 17 on Buford’s jumper, Lighty’s driving layup and two foul shots by P.J. Hill. Delaware State never got closer than 14 points again. Despite trailing for most of the game, the Hornets set the pace. They waited on players to get open backdoor and were content to work the ball around the perimeter. As evidence, they were called for five shot-clock violations. There was a glacial pace to the opening half with the Hornets patiently running their picking, passing game and waiting to shoot until late in the clock. Notes: • Ohio State is 11-3 all-time as the No. 18 team in the Associated Press poll. • The game marked the second meeting between Ohio State and Presbyterian.

Lawrence Westbrook added 15 points for the Gophers, who bounced back in a big way from a 79-60 defeat at fourth-ranked Purdue earlier in the week. Hoffarber, the conference’s leading 3-point shooter at better than 50 percent, had only three points in that game. Evan Turner got going in the second half and gave the Buckeyes 19 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, four steals and two blocks in his second game back after missing more than four weeks while broken bones in his back healed. The rest of the Buckeyes had trouble on the road. David Lighty had 15 points, but he fouled out. Dallas Lauderdale managed two points and Jon Diebler struggled with his shot, going 1-for-8 from 3-point range. Turner’s eight rebounds pushed him over the 500 mark for his career (501). He is just the 21st player in Ohio State history to record more than 1,000 points and 500 rebounds. He will become just the second player in recorded history to reach 300 assists along with his point and rebound totals. Notes: • The Buckeyes are 74-55 in the all-time series against Minnesota, including a 36-29 mark when playing in Minneapolis. • Ohio State led 33-32 at the half and is now 11-2 this season when ahead at the intermission and 116-17 under Thad Matta. • Ohio State’s starting lineup of Evan Turner, David Lighty, Jon Diebler, William Buford and Dallas Lauderdale is now 6-1 on the season, absorbing its first loss as a unit. • The first half featured two ties and seven lead changes. The Buckeyes led by as much as six with 2:31 to play. • The Buckeyes shot 45.5 percent from the floor and 27.8 percent from 3-point range, the second lowest total this season (23.5 percent vs. James Madison). • Thad Matta’s career record is now 239-82 in his 10th season all-time as a head coach. He is 138-52 in his sixth year at Ohio State. • Diebler now has 198 3’s in his career, second all-time at Ohio State. • Only 21 players in Ohio State history have scored more than 1,000 points and collected 500 rebounds. Turner has 1,060 career points and 501 career rebounds at Ohio State after scoring 19 points and grabbing eight rebounds vs. the Gophers. • Turner finished with a team-high 19 points, scoring 15 in the second half, including 8 of 10 during a five-minute stretch midway through the period. • Buford scored 17 points, the 13th time he has been in double figures this season Game 17 Ohio State 70, No. 6 Purdue 66 Jan. 12, 2010, West Lafayette WEST LAFAYETTE - Evan Turner scored 23 of his careerhigh 32 points in the second half, and Ohio State rallied from a 13-point deficit to beat No. 6 Purdue 70-66. Turner scored 14 of Ohio State’s final 18 points. He also had nine rebounds in his third game back since missing a month with a fracture in his back. William Buford had 19 points and seven rebounds for the Buckeyes. Robbie Hummel scored 29 of his career-high 35 points in the first half for Purdue. He tied a school-record with eight 3-pointers and had 10 rebounds. E’Twaun Moore added 19 points for the Boilermakers. Purdue took an early 13-9 lead before Ohio State responded with a 9-0 run, including three buckets by Buford, to take an 18-13 advantage with 10 minutes to play in the first half. The Boilermakers closed the first half on an 11-2 run that included three 3-pointers by Hummel to take a 41-29 lead. Ohio State started the second half with a 13-6 run to cut Purdue’s lead to 47-42, but Moore converted a 3-point play to temporarily slow the Buckeyes’ momentum. The Buckeyes closed to 58-52, but a layup by Moore after an Ohio State turnover, then a fast-break dunk by JaJuan Johnson made it 62-52 with 4:07 to play. Ohio State responded with a 10-0 run, all on points by Turner, to tie the game. Hummel made two free throws with 20.5 seconds left, but Ohio State got the ball inbounds against Purdue’s pressure, and Buford converted two free throws with 16.8 seconds left to create the final margin. COLUMBUS - David Lighty helped Ohio State weather Evan Turner’s foul trouble, scoring 18 points to lead the Buckeyes to their second win over a ranked opponent this week, a 60-51 victory over No. 13 Wisconsin. Turner had 15 points despite finishing with four fouls, and William Buford added 12 rebounds for the Buckeyes. Trevon Hughes had 18 points and Jason Bohannon 10 for the Badgers, who struggled all night to find an inside presence on offense. They were playing their second game without second-leading scorer and rebounder Jon Leuer, who fractured his left wrist a week earlier. The Buckeyes won at No. 6 Purdue 70-66 earlier in the week. Down 15 with just over 8 minutes left, the Badgers trimmed the lead to seven in the final minutes but couldn’t get closer. The Buckeyes improved to 11-0 at home this season and 4-3 against ranked opponents - or 4-1 when Turner is in the lineup. One of the keys to the rematch was that even with Turner sitting out the final 14 minutes of the first half with two fouls, the Buckeyes were able to turn a 10-9 deficit into a 12-point halftime lead. The Buckeyes used a 15-4 run in the second half to take control. They shot 52 percent from the field, made half of their six 3-point attempts and also outscored the Badgers - who only shot five free throws - by five points at the line. Wisconsin made two charges, the first an 8-0 run to start the second half, but was never able to catch up. Notes: • The Buckeyes are 75-81 in the all-time series against Purdue, including a 24-53 record in games played in West Lafayette. The Buckeyes are 14-18 vs. Purdue teams ranked in the AP Top 25. Thad Matta is 10-4 vs. Purdue. • An unranked Ohio State team last won a road game vs. an AP Top 10 squad Jan. 2, 1997 at Michigan. The Buckeyes knocked off No. 8 Michigan 73-71. • Ohio State’s starting lineup of Evan Turner, David Lighty, Jon Diebler, William Buford and Dallas Lauderdale is now 7-1 on the season. • Ohio State is 132-219 vs. teams ranked among the Top 25 alltime. The Buckeyes are 55-111 vs. Top 10 foes, including a record of 3-4 in the last seven outings.

Turner scored 10-consecutive points in a stretch to bring Ohio State from down 62-52 at the 4:07 mark to tied at 62 with 2:37 to play. The Buckeyes never trailed after that point. • Thad Matta’s career record is now 241-82 in his 10th season all-time as a head coach. He is 139-52 in his sixth year at Ohio State. • Jon Diebler has made at least one 3-pointer in his past 27 games, dating to last season.

Notes: • Ohio State is 81-64 all-time vs. Wisconsin. The Buckeyes own a 51-21 advantage in games played in Columbus. The win was the first at home against Wisconsin since Feb. 25 2007, a 49-48 win that clinched an outright Big Ten title for the Buckeyes. • Ohio State’s starting lineup of Evan Turner, David Lighty, Jon Diebler, William Buford and Dallas Lauderdale is 8-1 this season. • The Buckeyes are 11-0 in Value City Arena this season. • The Buckeyes are now 7-9 all-time vs. Top 25 ranked Wisconsin teams, 6-4 at home. • Ohio State is now 131-215 (.378) all-time against teams ranked in the AP Top 25. • OSU is 12-2 this season when leading at the half, 117-17 under Matta. The Buckeyes are 11-0 when leading with five minutes left in the game, 125-5 under Matta. • The team is shooting 53.4 percent from the field (324-of-607) and 43.5 percent from behind the arc (103-of-237) at Value City Arena this season. • Ohio State outscored Wisconsin 25-12 in the first half with Evan Turner on the bench from the 14:16 mark on. • The Buckeyes went on a 15-4 run between the 16:53 and 7:56 marks of the second half. • Thad Matta’s career record is now 242-82 in his 10th season all-time as a head coach.

Turner, who flirted with a triple-double with 13 rebounds and eight assists, led the way in a 7-0 run to open the game for the Buckeyes and became only the second Ohio State player (joining Jimmy Jackson) to have 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 300 assists. Jon Diebler added 17 points and Dallas Lauderdale had a career-high 14 for Ohio State, which has won the last 27 times it has hosted the Wildcats, dating to 1977. John Shurna had 22 points and Drew Crawford 11 for Northwestern. At one point in the second half, the Wildcats hit 8 of 10 shots from the field but had cut just three points off what was a 23point deficit at the break. The Wildcats hit 9 of 23 3-pointers - they’re in the top 10 in the nation in shots made and attempted behind the arc - but never had an answer inside against the more aggressive Buckeyes. The Buckeyes broke out to a quick lead on a Turner jumper and a 3 sandwiched around Diebler’s fast-break layup.

Evan Turner added 16 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists for Ohio State, which scored a season-low 20 points in the first half and trailed by five at the break. But the Buckeyes closed the game with a 20-7 run and won on the road for the second time this season. Ohio State shook off that sluggish start behind Lighty and Turner. They combined to score 32 of Ohio State’s 45 points in the second half to help stave off Iowa’s upset bid. Ohio State took its first lead of the second half with 2:46 left, jumping ahead 52-50 on a runner by Lighty.

Freshman Eric May tied a career high with 18 points for Iowa. Turner broke through with a long 3-pointer to help Ohio State pull even at 28, but he picked up his third foul with 15:29 left and had to be careful defensively the rest of the way. The Buckeyes then fell into a shooting funk, and the Hawkeyes stretched a slim lead to 42-36 on a pair of 3s by May with just under 10 minutes to go.

Iowa held Turner to 1-of-3 shooting in the first half, and Payne cut through the lane for a nifty reverse scoop off the glass to help put the Hawkeyes ahead 25-20 at halftime. f f c g g FG % 1st Half: 10-25 40.0% 3FG % 1st Half: 0-7 0.0% FT % 1st Half: 0-3 0.0% 6-15 7-11 5-5 1-6 4-14 0-2 0-2 1-2 1-3 3-4 0-0 0-3 0-3 0-1 0-2 0-0 24-57 4-16 3-4 3-3 0-5 4-4 3-4 0-0 0-0 0-0 4 8 12 3 4 4 8 2 1 1 2 3 2 5 7 2 2 6 8 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 3 3 13-20 13 28 41 13 2nd half: 14-32 43.8% 2nd half: 4-9 44.4% 2nd half: 13-17 76.5% TP A TO Blk Stl 16 20 10 6 11 0 0 2 7 0 1 1 3 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 3 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65 12 5 5 3 200 Game: 24-57 42.1% Game: 4-16 25.0% Game: 13-20 65.0% Min 34 40 32 37 36 7 6 8 Deadball Rebounds 3 Iowa 57 • 8-13, 2-6 TP A TO Blk Stl 7 9 11 21 14 0 4 2 3 0 1 1 1 5 4 0 4 0 1 0 Min 2 0 1 3 1 1 2 0 0 0 0 4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 29 36 25 40 28 4 21 5 8 4 71 17 10 5 4 200 Deadball Rebounds 2 Total 3-Ptr Rebounds FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA Off Def Tot PF ## Player 24 Fuller, Aaron May, Eric Cole, Jarryd Payne, Cully Gatens, Matt Bawinkel, Devan Brommer, Andrew Lickliter, John Cougill, Brennan Team Totals 25 50 03 05 15 20 34 44 FG % 1st Half: 9-23 3FG % 1st Half: 4-13 FT % 1st Half: 3-5 f f f g g 2-11 6-12 4-7 2-8 2-7 2-3 0-0 1-1 1-6 0-2 5-10 0-0 0-4 2-6 2-3 0-0 1-1 0-5 20-55 10-31 39.1% 30.8% 60.0% 2-3 1-2 1-2 1-1 0-0 0-0 2-2 0-0 0-0 7-10 2nd half: 11-32 34.4% 2nd half: 6-18 33.3% 2nd half: 4-5 80.0% 4 5 9 4 1 2 3 2 3 2 5 5 0 6 6 3 0 1 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 7 9 1 0 0 0 10 24 34 18 Game: 20-55 36.4% Game: 10-31 32.3% Game: 7-10 70.0% TP A TO Blk Stl 6 18 9 5 6 6 2 3 2 0 0 1 6 3 0 0 2 1 1 0 1 4 3 0 0 0 1 1 57 13 11 Min 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 30 36 23 33 38 9 1 7 23 3 1 200 Deadball Rebounds 0 Officials: Curtis Shaw, David Maracich, Eugene Crawford Jr. Technical fouls: Ohio State-None.

William Buford scored a career-high 26 points and Evan Turner and Jon Diebler each had 19 points to lead the 20th-ranked Buckeyes past Minnesota 85-63 for their fifth win in six games. The Buckeyes shot 63 percent against Minnesota, which came in leading the conference by limiting opponents to just 38.6 percent. Rodney Williams had 13 points, Ralph Sampson III had 11, and Damian Johnson and Blake Hoffarber each had 10 to lead the Golden Gophers. The 1960 national championship squad led by Jerry Lucas and John Havlicek was honored at halftime. That team beat California 75-55 for the school’s only national title in basketball. Against Minnesota, this year’s Buckeyes shot 73 percent from the field in the opening half to build a 49-35 lead and never looked back. With Ohio State ahead 32-24 late in the half, Buford, the freshman of the year in the Big Ten last season, hit a runner in the lane, Lighty hit a spectacular driving layup while falling and Buford added two foul shots to push the lead to 38-24. The Golden Gophers, just 1-5 on the road, never got closer than 12 points again. The Buckeyes led by 28 points in the second half and coasted to the finish. At halftime, members of the 1960 team - which included Hall of Famers Jerry Lucas, John Havlicek, Bob Knight and the late coach, Fred Taylor, were honored. Knight spoke of Taylor, crediting him for bringing a disparate group of players together for that one championship season. A banner honoring Taylor was unfurled from the rafters.

Game 23 No. 13 Ohio State 75, Penn State 62 Feb. 3, 2010, Columbus COLUMBUS - Evan Turner scored 22 of his 27 points in the second half and Jon Diebler hit a critical 3-pointer to lead No. 13 Ohio State to a 75-62 victory over Penn State. The Buckeyes closed the game on a 10-0 run and handed the Nittany Lions their 10th straight loss. Diebler had not scored until he hit a shot from behind the arc with 1:29 left to give the Buckeyes some breathing room after Penn State had cut the lead to 65-62. William Buford added 19 points and David Lighty had 12 for the Buckeyes, who have beaten the Nittany Lions in their last 12 meetings. Talor Battle had 24 points and David Jackson 12 for Penn State. The Buckeyes scored eight of the first 10 points and never trailed, getting big buckets from Turner time and again in the second half whenever the Nittany Lions threatened to slice into the lead. But Penn State, down 12 at halftime, never really went away. The Nittany Lions cut the lead to seven points four times before finally getting as close as 65-62 on two free throws by Jackson with 1:53 remaining. Ohio State worked the ball around before Turner - who added 10 rebounds and six assists - found Diebler open in front of the Buckeyes bench. He hit nothing but net. Turner then added three free throws and Buford four to close out the game. Battle and Turner were teammates on the U.S. World University Games team this summer. They guarded each other off and on throughout the game and seemed to enjoy attacking each other. Battle, like Turner, also flirted with a tripledouble, adding nine rebounds and seven assists. COLUMBUS - Evan Turner matched his career high with 32 points, leading No. 13 Ohio State past Iowa 68-58 and stretching the Buckeyes’ Big Ten winning streak to seven straight. Jon Diebler added 12 points for the Buckeyes, who have won four in a row overall and seven of eight. Eric May scored 16 points, Aaron Fuller and Cully Payne 11 each, and Matt Gatens 10 for the Hawkeyes, who have lost four in a row and won just once away from home. Ahead by five at the half, Ohio State pulled away when Iowa hit 1 of its first 9 shots. Turner, who scored 20 points in the last 20 minutes, got things going on what would become an 11-2 run, including Kyle Madsen’s bucket to close the half. Turner hit a 15-foot jumper on the first possession and later hit another shot off an inbounds pass. William Buford hit two foul shots and had two assists, including on Diebler’s 3 from in front of the Ohio State bench that made it 41-29. The Hawkeyes were able to get as close as 51-43, but Turner responded with a baseline jumper and a slashing drive through the lane. Iowa was down 55-46 but missed three consecutive 3-point shots on the same possession, thanks to two offensive rebounds. Turner finally ended the lengthy trip down the floor with a rebound, then dribbled the length of the floor, faked May on a drive and coasted in for an easy finger-roll. The Buckeyes were without center Dallas Lauderdale for large portions of the game. He was tagged with his third and fourth fouls at the outset of the second half and sat out much of the remainder of the game.

They committed only six turnovers, compared with Indiana’s 14, and they blocked more than twice as many shots as the Hoosiers. Things couldn’t have gone much better for Ohio State. Lauderdale, a junior, also matched his career highs for rebounds (eight) and blocks (seven). Senior Kyle Madsen scored a career-high 11 points, and Buford added seven rebounds, four assists and two steals. Ohio State, winners of eight straight conference games, outscored Indiana 40-28 in the paint and 18-3 off turnovers to move into a three-way tie with Michigan State and Illinois for first place in the Big Ten. Buford, Lauderdale and Madsen more than made up for leading scorer EvanTurner, who played just 3 minutes in the first half because of foul trouble. The five-time conference player of the week finished with 10 points and six assists. The Hoosiers have lost five in a row overall and four straight against the Buckeyes - their longest skid in the rivalry since 1968-70. Christian Watford finished with 15 points and freshman Jordan Hulls added a season-high 13 to lead Indiana. The only other player to reach double figures was Verdell Jones, who spent most of the second half in foul trouble. CHAMPAIGN - No. 13 Ohio State used a barrage of 3s, most of them from Jon Diebler, to take an early 21-10 lead before finishing off Illinois, 72-53. The Buckeyes were 11 of 22 from 3-point range, including a 6-for-11 performance from Diebler, who led Ohio State with 18 points. David Lighty hit a trio of 3-pointers and scored 17. The Buckeyes held onto a piece of first place in the Big Ten, along with Michigan State. They’ve won nine in a row in the conference and six straight overall. After trailing by one early, the Buckeyes used an 18-6 run to finish the Illini off early. Illinois’ first and last lead (4-3) came just over two minutes into the game on a Mike Davis basket on a fast break. A single free throw from Evan Turner with 17:40 to play in the first half started the Buckeyes on an 18-6 run that gave them a 21-10 lead. Diebler ended the run with a 3-pointer - his second during that span - and the Buckeyes hit five of six shots from the field. From there, the Buckeyes coasted into halftime with a 36-20 lead. Demetri McCamey led Illinois with nine points - nearly seven short of his average. The much talked-about matchup between high school teammates McCamey and Turner turned into, for the most part, Turner’s show. Both went to St. Joseph High school in Bellwood, a Chicago suburb. Turner’s 16 points came mostly in the second half, but eight of his 11 rebounds were in the first 20 minutes and were a big piece of why the Buckeyes led by 16 at the half.

Each patch is a two-inch white circle with black border and 3407 in black inside the circle. • Ohio State recorded 20 assists in the game, the fifth time this season the Buckeyes recorded 20 or more assists. Ohio State is 27-0 in the Thad Matta era when dishing out 20 or more assists.

He hit 11 of 17 shots from the field, made both of his foul shots and also had seven rebounds and three assists. Whenever the Boilermakers needed a shot, a rebound or a blocked shot, Johnson was their guy. E’Twaun Moore had 15 points and Keaton Grant added 13 off the bench for Purdue. Evan Turner had 29 points, William Buford 11 and Diebler 10 for Ohio State, which had won its last nine Big Ten games. Johnson had 15 points as Purdue scored the first seven points and never trailed in building a 36-23 halftime lead. That was similar to the first meeting, when they led 41-29 behind Robbie Hummel’s 29 first-half points. This time, the lead was almost the same - only Hummel didn’t score a point. Johnson carried the load, instead. Down by 15 early in the second half, the Buckeyes rode Turner to get back into the game. He had a three-point play and hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 43-37 with just over 14 minutes left. Turner had 11 of Ohio State’s first 16 points in the second half, but Johnson was unstoppable at the other end. He had a threepoint play on a short turnaround and then, with the shot clock winding down, swished an 18-foot jumper from the elbow to push the lead to 48-39. Buford hit a 3-pointer and another long jumper to pull the Buckeyes as close as 48-46 with 9:46 left. But they could never pull even. Notes: • The game was a sell-out, the 61st in the history of Value City Arena. The Buckeyes are 48-13 in those games. • Ohio State is 38-9 vs. the Big Ten when Value City Arena is sold out. The Buckeyes are 14-5 vs. ranked Big Ten opponents in a sold-out VCA. • The game Wednesday was the first Top 10 match-up at Value City Arena since Feb, 25, 2007. On that day, No. 1 Ohio State defeated No. 2 Wisconsin, 49-48. • Purdue leads the all-time series with Ohio State 82-75. The loss snapped a six game Ohio State home win streak against the Boilermakers. The Buckeyes are now 50-28 in games played in Columbus, 6-1 in Value City Arena. • Ohio State is now 14-19 against ranked Purdue teams, 5-2 when both teams are ranked. • The Buckeyes are 133-220 all-time vs. opponents ranked among the AP Top 25, including a 55-112 record vs. Top 10 foes. • When a ranked Ohio State team takes on a ranked opponent, the Buckeyes are 53-45 all-time. OSU is 231-54 all-time when ranked in the Top 10. • The loss is Ohio State’s first at home this season, dropping their home record to 15-1. • The Scarlet and Gray used a 15-5 run over a 5:06 stretch of the second half (14:50-9:44) to cut lead to two at 48-46 – it was the closest the Buckeyes would get the rest of the game. • Thad Matta’s .735 winning percentage over 200 games is tied with Fred Taylor for the best in OSU history. • Matta is 64-33 (.660) in Big Ten games, also the highest percentage all-time at Ohio State. • Under Matta, Ohio State is now 25-33 against ranked opponents, 12-8 in Columbus and 4-5 this season.

He left town feeling much better after the Buckeyes earned a 74-67 victory. Turner had a strong second half and finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds to tighten the conference standings. Turner scored 16 points in the second half. William Buford had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Buckeyes. Durrell Summers scored 16 points for Michigan State, including seven straight to give the Spartans a 62-61 lead with 4:05 remaining. Buford hit two free throws to put the Buckeyes back on top 63-62. Turner’s jumper gave Ohio State a 65-62 lead with 2:55 left. Jon Diebler hit a 3-pointer with 1:45 left to put the Buckeyes ahead 68-62. Michigan State’s Kalin Lucas went 0 for 5 from the floor and scored just one point in the first half before finishing with nine points in the game. Raymar Morgan had nine points and 14 rebounds. The Buckeyes quieted the Breslin Center crowd with a big run midway through the first half to grab a 23-12 lead.

Game 29 No. 9 Ohio State 75, Penn State 67 Feb. 24, 2010, State College STATE COLLEGE - After a cold start, Evan Turner found his shooting touch at just the right time. The Ohio State star had 25 points and overcame a 1 of 7 shooting effort in the first half by hitting 7 of 10 in the second, and the No. 9 Buckeyes downed Penn State 75-67. David Lighty scored 18, including an open 3 from the left wing that put the Buckeyes up 49-32 with 13:50 left before Penn State answered with three straight 3s. David Jackson’s three-point play off a layup with 5:15 left got the Nittany Lions within 59-57. Jackson finished with 13 points and six rebounds, while Talor Battle had a team-high 22. But Turner scored Ohio State’s next eight to help put the game away, hitting an array of athletic leaners and layups, and hitting all nine of his foul shots. The Nittany Lions couldn’t handle Ohio State’s balanced offense during the Buckeyes’ 19-4 run to open the second half capped by Lighty’s 3. That’s when Penn State finally found its range, hitting 3 straight 3s over the next two minutes in a 9-0 run. Jeff Brooks’ jumper and David Jackson’s three-point play off a layup drew Penn State within 59-57 with 5:15 left. Knocked to the floor after getting fouled by Turner, Battle came to his teammate’s aid and let out a big yell. But the Nittany Lions would get no closer, thanks to Turner’s athletic play. He showed again why he’s a candidate for national player of the year. Notes: • Thad Matta has coached 100 regular season Big Ten games at Ohio State. He is 67-33 in those games (.670).

The victory kept the Buckeyes in the thick of the Big Ten race heading into the final week. It also gave them a measure of retribution for an earlier loss to the Wolverines. Ohio State has defeated every team in the conference at least once this year. Dallas Lauderdale matched a career high with 14 points for Ohio State. DeShawn Sims, Darius Morris and Zack Novak each had 11 points for Michigan, which lost its third in a row. Michigan led by a point at the half, but shot just 26 percent in the second half. Ohio State shot 59 percent for the game. The Buckeyes - in particular, Turner - took control at the outset of the second half in front of a cheering crowd of 18,862. Just as in the first half, Turner opened the scoring with a baseline jumper before Buford scored inside on an assist from David Lighty. That gave Ohio State the lead at 36-33. Later, Turner blocked a layup by Novak, one of the Top Plays on ESPN, then grabbed an offensive rebound at the other end and made a layup to push the advantage to 45-37. The Buckeyes were successful on three consecutive possessions, Lauderdale scoring inside off a Turner assist, Buford banging in a perimeter jumper and then Lauderdale hitting a reverse dunk while unguarded to make it 51-40. Michigan pulled to 57-50 before Lauderdale used one hand to jam in a Turner alley-oop pass with 4 1/2 minutes left, the basket and the arena rocking for several seconds after.

Now they know. Jon Diebler once again lit up Illinois from behind the arc, hitting seven 3-pointers for 21 points, to lead the sixth-ranked Buckeyes to a 73-57 victory on Tuesday night that assured them of at least a share of the Big Ten title. After the game, just as the Buckeyes had hoped, they were mobbed by fans. It was the third conference title in the last five years for Ohio State, winners of four straight overall and 13 of 15. Athletic director Gene Smith presented the Big Ten championship trophy to the players - it was the school’s 18th title - while the band played. The Buckeyes will be the top seed in the Big Ten tournament, after taking a nine-day rest, and will likely be a high seed in the NCAA tournament. William Buford added 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists but it was David Lighty, who finished with 15 points, who might have provided the biggest spark for the Buckeyes in the second half. The lead hovered around four points until sub Kyle Madsen hit a baseline jumper and, after an Illinois turnover, Lighty took one quick step to the basket and scored on a left-handed layup while Illini big man Mike Tisdale picked up his third foul. Lighty’s three-point play pushed the lead to 58-49 with 9 minutes left. Five straight points by Buford and a basket by Turner on a 3-on-1 fastbreak pushed the lead to 65-51 with less than 7 minutes left. Notes: • Ohio State clinched a share of the Big Ten conference title, the third regular season championship under Thad Matta. All three titles have been clinched in Value City Arena. • It is the 18th Big Ten title in OSU program history. • Ohio State is the first Big Ten school since 1957 (MSU) to overcome a 1-3 start in the conference and win the title. The Buckeyes closed the conference schedule winning 13 of 14 games. • Because of their win at Michigan State Feb.21, Ohio State holds all tiebreakers and has clinched the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. They will face the winner of the No. 8 seed and No. 9 seed Friday, March 12 at Noon eastern on ESPN. • Ohio State has won conference championships in football and men’s and women’s basketball the same year in three of the past five years. They are the only Big Ten school to accomplish this feat even once. • Illinois leads the overall series with Ohio State 99-61 and the Illini are 40-38 in Columbus. The Buckeyes have won seven of the last nine games, including four of the last five in Columbus. Ohio State won the other meeting this season 72-53 in Champaign Feb. 14. • The Buckeyes are 18-9 overall when ranked in games vs. the Illini. Ranked Ohio State teams are 11-1 vs. Illinois in Columbus. • The Illinois game was the final home game for seniors Kyle Madsen, P.J. Hill, Jeremie Simmons, Danny Peters and Mark Titus. • Peters and Titus have been part of record-tying 105 victories during their four years in uniform. One more win and they will be the winningest players in program history. INDIANAPOLIS - Evan Turner took an inbounds pass, dribbled upcourt and drained a 37-footer at the buzzer to give No. 5 Ohio State a 69-68 win over Michigan in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals. The Big Ten player of the year left his arm in the air after the release, confident that the long shot would fall. Turner finished with 18 points and eight assists for the Buckeyes. Turner’s final attempt was so close to the buzzer that the play was reviewed. When the officials signaled the shot was good, the red-clad section of the crowd erupted. Turner had shot 1 for 8 in the second half, but took the biggest shot of the game without hesitation. He was surprised that no one impeded his progress as he dribbled up the court. Michigan’s Manny Harris hit a jumper from 11 feet with 2.2 seconds left to give Michigan a 68-66 lead. Harris led the Wolverines (15-17) with 26 points, and his big performance made the final result all the more disappointing for the Wolverines. David Lighty and William Buford each scored 15 points for Ohio State. Stu Douglass and DeShawn Sims each had 16 points for Michigan. The Buckeyes led 39-29 early in the second half before back-to-back 3-pointers by Douglass chopped the Buckeyes’ lead to 39-35. Another 3 by Douglass trimmed Ohio State’s lead to 42-38, but Ohio State responded with a 9-0 run. A 3-pointer by Turner capped the spurt midway through the second half. Michigan surged again, and a 3-pointer by Harris while fading away from beyond the key cut Ohio State’s lead to 59-57, leading to the frantic final minutes. Notes: • Thad Matta is 2-0 in March this season and 27-8 overall in the month of Madness at Ohio State.

He’ll rescue No. 5 Ohio State from any sign of trouble. One day after making a 37-foot buzzer-beater in the quarterfinals, Turner bailed out the Buckeyes again Saturday, scoring 12 of his 31 points after regulation to lead Ohio State past pesky Illinois 88-81 in double overtime. That’s what the Big Ten player of the year did on a wacky day in Indianapolis. Turner finished with a double double - 31 points, 10 rebounds. Turner also had six assists and two steals. Still, Turner and the Buckeyes almost didn’t get their chance. Twice Illinois had shots at the buzzer for the win. But Mike Davis didn’t get a wide open layup off in time at the end of regulation, and D.J. Richardson missed a long jumper after the red lights lit up on the backboard at the close of the first overtime. So when Turner got a third chance to save the Buckeyes, he didn’t let them down. The junior swingman found Jon Diebler for an open 3 to start the second overtime, then made back-to-back layups to give the Buckeyes enough breathing room. Turner played more than 14 minutes with four fouls and never went to the bench until he fouled out with a minute left in the game. He said afterward he still didn’t need a break. Turner was unstoppable when it mattered most. He tied the score in regulation with a nifty drive down the baseline for a reverse layup. He scored the final eight Ohio State points in the first overtime, tying it with a layup with 22 seconds left, and then dominated over the final five minutes.

When it appeared there was nothing more he could do to make his Big Ten tournament performance better, the junior had 31 points and 11 rebounds to lead No. 5 Ohio State over Minnesota 90-61 in the championship game. Turner hit a 37-foot shot at the buzzer to beat Michigan in the quarterfinals, then scored 12 of his 31 points after regulation in a double-overtime win against Illinois in the semifinals. He topped it by setting the tournament record for points in a championship game and was the obvious choice as the tournament’s most outstanding player. Ohio State made nine 3-pointers in the second half to pull away after leading by just three points at halftime. David Lighty scored 20 points and Jon Diebler added 19 for the Buckeyes, who tied the record for largest victory margin in a Big Ten tournament game. Lawrence Westbrook scored 17 points and Devoe Joseph added 14 for the Golden Gophers. They weren’t celebrating a Big Ten title because Turner did a little bit of everything. He made four 3-pointers and several acrobatic layups, and had six assists. After one layup, during which he was fouled, Ohio State fans started chanting M-V-P. Ohio State shot 58 percent on Sunday. The Buckeyes opened the second half with an 8-0 run. Threepointers by Turner and William Buford helped Ohio State take a 41-30 lead. Buckeyes outscored Minnesota 57-31 in the second half. MILWAUKEE - Evan Turner took a back seat to slick shooter Jon Diebler and big forward Dallas Lauderdale, and Ohio State outlasted persistent UC Santa Barbara 68-51 in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Diebler scored 23 points and Lauderdale blocked a career-high eight shots and grabbed a career best 12 rebounds for the second-seeded Buckeyes. Turner was held to nine points while going 2 of 13 from the field. Turner did have 10 rebounds, and William Buford added 16 points for the Buckeyes. Orlando Johnson scored 20 points for No. 15 seed UC Santa Barbara. The most impressive parts of Ohio State’s game were a sampling of swatted shots and a couple of big dunks by Lauderdale, and the stellar outside shooting of Diebler, who was 7 of 12 from 3-point range. Turner, meanwhile, seemed to have a rough night against the Gauchos’ matchup zone defense. But he did leave the floor with something he didn’t have before: a win in the NCAA tournament. The Buckeyes didn’t make it to the tournament in his freshman year, then lost in the first round last season. Returning to the tournament this year, Ohio State vowed it wouldn’t come out flat. Still, the Buckeyes did allow the Gauchos a few glimmers of hope before Lauderdale and Diebler eventually took over. A transition dunk by Greg Somogyi cut the Buckeyes’ lead to eight early in the second half. But Diebler hit a 3-pointer and Lauderdale briefly asserted himself on the offensive end, scoring on powerful dunks on back-to-back possessions.

The Buckeyes hold a 39-20 in tourney games and have advanced to the Final Four nine times. This is the fifth time advancing to the regional round of competition since seeded NCAA Tourney play began in 1980. • Thad Matta is 8-3 in four NCAA Tournament appearances at Ohio State, including five wins in 2007 en route to the national championship game. He is 15-7 overall in NCAA tournament games while coaching at Butler, Xavier and Ohio State. • Jon Diebler led Ohio State in scoring in Milwaukee with 21.5 points a game. He shot 54 percent from the field (14-26) and 50 percent from 3-point range (11-22). He also made all four free throw attempts. • Along with Diebler, four Buckeyes averaged double figures in Rounds 1 & 2. Evan Turner (16.5 ppg.), David Lighty (13.5 ppg.) and William Buford (12.5 ppg.) all contributed 10 or more points. • The Buckeyes averaged 71.5 ppg. in Milwaukee while opponents tallied 58.5 ppg. Blocks were in favor of Ohio State 15-2 and the Buckeyes shot 81 pct. from the foul line (33-41). • The Buckeyes used a 12-2 run in the first half to take their first lead of the game at 7:28. Evan Turner scored seven points in the stretch, including his first made 3-pointer of 2010 NCAA Tournament play. • Ohio State led 28-26 at the half, following a David Lighty dunk with 36 seconds to play. The Buckeyes are 25-3 when leading at the half this season and 130-18 under Thad Matta. • The Buckeyes opened the second half with another run, going 114, to take a 39-30 lead. They would go on to lead by as much as 15 points (65-50, 4:56). Official Basketball Box Score -- Game Totals -- Final Statistics UC Santa Barbara vs Ohio State 3/19/10 at Milwaukee, Wis. (Bradley Center) MINNESOTA 61 • 27-7 ## MILWAUKEE - One bad game for Evan Turner is a rarity. No way he has two in a row. Turner shook off one of the worst shooting nights of his career by coming within an assist and a rebound of his third triple-double of the season, and second-seeded Ohio State outlasted foul- and turnover-plagued Georgia Tech for a 75-66 victory in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Turner, a leading contender for national player of the year, finished with a game-high 24 points. Jon Diebler added 20 points for the Buckeyes and David Lighty had 18. ACC Freshman of the Year Derrick Favors, who played just 5 minutes in the first half after picking up two quick fouls, keyed an 11-0 run that cut Ohio State’s lead to 65-61 with 1:47 to play. Turner made two free throws, and Lighty converted both of his after an intentional foul and the Yellow Jackets never threatened again. Favors, who finished with 10 points and four rebounds, fouled out in the last minute. Gani Lawal, who had three fouls before halftime, had 11 points. Beating the Buckeyes might have been a tall order anyway, but Georgia Tech had no chance with Lawal and Favors, their two leading scorers and rebounders, in foul trouble for much of the game. Turnovers didn’t help, either, with Ohio State converting 21 Georgia Tech miscues into 13 points.

Diebler began his senior season with 2,106 points for the 27th-best career total in the state of Ohio. After scoring 810 points in his first 19 games, Diebler passed Ohio High School basketball greats, Jimmy Jackson (2,328), Jamar Butler (2,412), Bob Huggins (2,438), Jerry Lucas (2,438) and LeBron James (2,646). Diebler scored the record-breaking point against Norwalk in a 90-64 win in February 2007. He also led the nation in scoring during his senior season with a 41.2 points per game average and tallied 12.3 rebounds per game en route to being named Rise Magazine’s Player of the Year. Diebler also set an Ohio High School state record for most free throws in a game with 27 out of 28 attempts vs. Tiffin Columbia in January 2006. He totaled 77 points vs. Tiffin Columbia and that stands as the most points scored in a game by an Ohio player in 37 years. Playing under his father, Keith Diebler, Jon was named Mr. Basketball in Ohio and was named the 2007 Division II Player of the Year. A first-team All-Ohio and Northern Ohio League selection, Diebler captained the Rams to a runner-up finish in the 2007 Ohio High School state championships. His 48 points in the championship game is the third highest in a game in the state tournament. Diebler trailed former Buckeye greats Jerry Lucas (53-1956) and Clark Kellogg (51-1979). As a sophomore, Diebler was a member of the 2004-05 Division II Upper Sandusky state tournament championship team. Diebler also was a three-time letterwinner in cross country. Diebler is the son of Keith and Renee Diebler. He has two brothers, Jeremiah and Jake. Jake is a senior guard for Valparaiso. He lists his greatest sports thrill as winning the state championship and recording a 27-0 record during his sophomore year at Upper Sandusky.

The 2007 Western Reserve Conference Most Valuable Player, Lauderdale was a Division I second-team all-state, all-city and All-Western Reserve recipient. For the fourth-consecutive season, Lauderdale led Solon to an undefeated record in the WRC. Also a first-team Northeast Lakes All-District honoree, Lauderdale was instrumental in guiding the Comets to the 2007 district title. In the semifinal game of the district championship against Cleveland Heights, Lauderdale’s 3-point conversion gave Solon the lead for good with 30 seconds left after both teams were tied, 57-all. The team’s leading scorer as captain, Lauderdale averaged 24 points, 12 rebounds, six blocks and two assists during his high school career. During his sophomore year at Solon, he scored 21 points per game, while grabbing 9.9 rebounds per game en route to first-team all-state honors. He was part of a lineup that helped the Comets advance to the Big School Regional Finals vs. Canton McKinley that year. Individual Career History In 2007, Lauderdale was one of three high school students from the Cleveland area nominated for the Outstanding High School Athlete award presented by the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission. Ohio State wrestling’s senior Lance Palmer was one of the other nominees. Lauderdale is the son of Dallas II and Carol Lauderdale. His uncle Jim Chones played for the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers and his cousin Kaayla Chones played in the WNBA.

He scored a team-high 21 points in the Gila Monsters’ 69-58 win over Arizona Western in the Region I Championship. The victory earned Eastern Arizona a spot in its first NJCAA Tournament appearance since 1995. Kecman was recognized in the tournament with the Sesher Sportsmanship Award, presented annually to the player demonstrating the best sportsmanship throughout the tournament and helped Eastern Arizona to a fifth-place tournament finish. Kecman averaged 13.4 points as a freshman and scored 428 points, the second-highest scoring total on the team. He made 170 of 301 (.565) field goals and 35 of 80 (.438) 3-pointers. Kecman sat out the first 12 games of the season last year to satisfy an NCAA penalty for playing on a team believed to have professionalized players while growing up in Serbia. He then played one game for the Buckeyes last year before suffering a knee injury which ended his season. Kecman is back at full strength this season and is eligible to play three seasons with the Buckeyes beginning in 2009-10. Kecman is the son of Nevenka and Vitomir. He is a native of Belgrade, Serbia.

He sat out the 2008-09 season at Ohio State to satisfy NCAA transfer rules and will have three seasons of eligibility with the Buckeyes beginning with the 2009-10 season. In eight games at the U18 European Championships in August 2008, Sarikopoulos averaged 10.3 points, 9.4 points while blocking a total of 18 shots to help Greece to the gold medal, its first in the event. Greece defeated Lithuania in the title game, 57-50. Sarikopoulos scored eight points, grabbed 10 boards and blocked five shots in the championship game. A native of Athens, Greece, Sarikopoulous appeared in 20 games as a rookie at UAB. He started four games, averaged 1.8 points and 1.1 rebounds for the Blazers, who finished with a 23-11 record in 2007-08. Before traveling to the United States in August 2007 to join the UAB program, Sarikopoulos led the Under-18 Greek national team to a secondplace finish in the 2007 Euro Championships and helped his club team Olympiakos B.C. to a second-place finish in the country. He averaged nearly 20 points and 16 rebounds per game, all team highs for Olympiakos. He also averaged 7.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.1 steals per contest for Greece in the Under-18 European Championships.
