00:00Now let's get to some closer games on a Tuesday night. Ohio
00:04State on the road continuing a great 24 to 36 hour run for
00:10Buckeyes athletics in back the arena against the Boilermakers
00:15upsetting number 11 Purdue at home again, road victories in
00:20any high major conference during this time of the year. Difficult
00:24the Buckeyes winning outright as a nine and a half point road
00:28underdogs snapping a 26 game home win streak for the
00:32Boilermakers. Incredibly difficult, but it's what Ohio
00:36State did last night winning 73 to 70 in West Lafayette.
00:41It's pretty crazy. You go on the road and handle your business
00:43even after as we just said, Hey, you can't dig yourself a hole
00:46in the first half, which is exactly what Ohio State did. And
00:49how about the turnover margin? 18 turnovers for Ohio State only
00:5110 for Purdue. It's like, wait a second. Well, what actually
00:54happened here? You're not supposed to shoot as well on the
00:57road as you do at home. How about 11 of 23 from three point
01:00range, which is 48%. How about going to the free throw line
01:03and making 82% of your free throws. That was the difference
01:06there. It's crazy that you can have eight more turnovers, but
01:09if you do shoot the lights out, you can make up for those
01:11turnovers. That's exactly what happened. Tough first half,
01:14great. Second, if 45 points on the road against a rival in the
01:18second half, that's impressive. That's a crazy win because some
01:22of the metrics, even personal fouls, been 22 to 17 where Ohio
01:25State was fouling more and turning it over more and still
01:28won that game. And it was an upset. Sometimes you could say
01:30like, you know what, the better team just found a way to win
01:33here. The better team technically was Purdue and you
01:35made more mistakes as Ohio State and still won on the road.
01:39That's kind of crazy.
