Photos From Ohio State’s 70-45 Win Over Minnesota

The Buckeyes overcame a sluggish first half to pull away from the Golden Gophers after intermission.

Although Ohio State trailed Minnesota by two at halftime, the Buckeyes outscored the Golden Gophers, 47-20, after halftime en route to a 70-45 win at Value City Arena on Tuesday night.

Ohio State shot just 40.7 percent from the field and committed eight turnovers, which allowed Minnesota to take a 25-23 lead into the break. The Buckeyes made their first six shots after intermission to pull away, though.

Junior forward E.J. Liddell led all scorers with 16 points and 10 rebounds, his sixth double-double of the year, while fifth-year senior guard Jamari Wheeler scored 13 points despite dealing with early foul trouble.

Ohio State will be back in action against Iowa on Saturday (2:30 p.m. on FOX) in a game that was originally scheduled for Feb. 3 before hosting Indiana on Monday (7 p.m. on FS1). That said, check out our best photos from the Buckeyes’ win on Tuesday evening below:
