After the biggest win of the season capped the most tumultuous week for Ohio State, the Buckeyes will again try to figure out how to win a road game.

Four days later, interim head coach Jake Diebler and the Buckeyes took down No. 2 Purdue, 73-69, at Value City Arena, celebrating with a court-storming after the final whistle.
