Heading into the second half, it was very evenly matched, with Kansas holding a narrow 37-35 lead. The game was back and forth from there, with the teams being within four points of each other through to about the seven-minute mark.
McLemore was the big scorer for Kansas, putting up 22 points, and shooting 8-of-17 from the field, with six rebounds on top of that. Nobody for Ohio State put on a jaw-dropping performance, with Deshaun Thomas leading the way with 16 points, six rebounds and 4-of-11 shooting from the field.
Also, during the game, this happened. So there’s that.
