It’s amazing what a change of scenery and some competent officials can do, eh? The Buckeyes turned the tables on the Hoosiers and got revenge for their 74-70 whistle-laden loss in Bloomington with a 80-63 blowout W. The catalyst was Lenzelle Smith, who came out of absolutely nowhere to pour in a career-high 28 points. Jared Sullinger added 16 points and 9 boards for the Buckeyes. A sellout crowd at Value City Arena saw the Buckeyes stifle the Hoosiers with their defense and hold them to 14 first half points. The Buckeyes look to be back to their old form at just the right time.
