BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WCMH) — Ohio State failed to score from the field in the final 5:55 seconds and saw a double-digit second half lead collapse as Indiana defeated the Buckeyes 66-60 at Assembly Hall in a game where both teams were fighting to keep at-large bids to the NCAA tournament alive.

OSU made only one of its final 11 shots while the Hoosiers stormed back behind a 16-point performance by Trey Galloway, which included a pull-up three point jumper with 1:24 to go to put Indiana up by five.


Malik Reneau also scored 16 points while Luke Goode dropped 11 for the Hoosiers, who finish the regular season with an 19-12 record.

Micah Parrish paced the Buckeyes with 19 points and four rebounds while Devin Royal added 13 points and six rebounds. Ohio State falls to 17-14 to finish the regular season.

With the result, the Buckeyes will be the No. 10 seed in the upcoming Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis. They will begin postseason play on Wednesday against either Northwestern, USC, or Iowa.
