After going up eight points with 3:48 to play, Ohio State never scored again, allowing Rutgers to storm back as the Buckeyes collapsed late in the road loss.
With 3:48 to play in a game that had been razor-close to that point, a pair of Zed Key free throws put Ohio State up eight points to give the Buckeyes their largest lead of the night against Rutgers. With some decent free throw shooting and a few stops from then on out, Ohio State was set to escape New Jersey with perhaps its best Big Ten road win of the season.
“We just have to get better. We just have to finish games and play with a little more force offensively,” Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said after the game. “We’ve got to help them with that. We just didn’t play with enough force, I thought their activity bothered us there late. We’re gonna have to play with force on the road, we just weren’t able to finish plays when we needed to.”
Now clinging onto a 64-58 lead with the clock ticking under three minutes, Ohio State had three cracks at answering the Scarlet Knights on the ensuing possession, but came up short on every attempt. Liddell had two straight layups sent back by 6-foot-11 Rutgers big man Clifford Omoruyi, and despite corralling another offensive rebound, Jamari Wheeler could not come up with a basket inside either.
