ACC/Big Ten Challenge
No. 15 Ohio State 77, No. 21 Florida State 64: Evan Turner had 25 points and 13 rebounds and Jon Diebler added 22 points to lead Ohio State past Florida State last night, clinching the Big Ten's first victory in 11 years of its annual series with the ACC.
The conferences came into the night with three wins apiece in head-to-head matchups. Wisconsin's 73-69 upset of No. 6 Duke set the stage for the Buckeyes (6-1) to put the Big Ten over the top. At the end, after the Big Ten had won six of the 11 matchups, Ohio State's student section chanted, "Big Ten! Big Ten!"
