Buckeyes earn at least share of fourth straight Big Ten title
RUSTY MILLER Associated Press
Ohio State seniors Packer, Riley and Alice Jamen were honored prior to the game. The win gave them a record 109 victories in their career, one more than last year’s seniors.
Northwestern hung tough with the Buckeyes for much of the first half before the Buckeyes stretched a narrow lead to 33-20 with a 12-0 run that featured five players scorers.
The Buckeyes may have been deprived of an outright title by a scoring error earlier this week at Indiana. A free throw by the Hoosiers was disallowed by a violation with 21⁄2 minutes left, but the officials did not consult with the scorer’s table, which counted the point. Instead of Ohio State having a one-point lead, Indiana ended up tied and eventually forced overtime before winning the game, 69-61.
But Foster wasn’t looking back. He was, as a matter of fact, looking to the future.
“The first half today I looked out there and we had three freshmen and two sophomores on the floor playing pretty well,” he said. “That’s a lot of fun.”
Then, just like Riley and the rest, he flashed a big smile.
