Ohio State looks like they may be playing their best basketball at the right time.  The Buckeyes used 53% shooting from the floor and a red-hot Evan Turner to turn back Michigan State, 82-70.  Turner got hot in the second half after failing to score in the first half, ending up with 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists.  Jon Diebler added 17 points and was 5 of 10 from 3-point land.  Overall, The Buckeyes shot 23 of 29 from the free throw line and connected on 9 of 16 attempts from 3-point range.

Kalin Lucas led the Spartans with 17 points.  Michigan State could only knock down 3 of its 21 3-point attempts.  The Spartans went on long stretches of at least six minutes in both halves where they could only manage one or two baskets.

Ohio State will face Purdue for the Big-Ten Tournament Championship.  Both teams should make it into the tournament, but expect the winner to claim a 5 or 6 seed, whereas the loser can end up with a ten seed or worse.
