Jamie Braun scored 19 points, including two clinching free throws with 39 seconds left in overtime, to help Indiana beat No. 18 Ohio State 69-61 on Monday night, Feb. 25.

The Hoosiers (16-12, 9-7 Big Ten) snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Buckeyes (20-7, 11-5) and avenged a 71-59 loss at Columbus last month, when Braun scored a season-high 25 points.

Extras

This time, Indiana had a huge advantage in free throws but couldn't put Ohio State away in regulation.

Two foul shots by Kim Roberson gave Indiana a 54-52 lead in the final minute of regulation, but a layup by Jantel Lavender with 29 seconds to go tied the game and sent it to overtime.

Marscilla Packer had all of the Buckeyes' points in the extra period, including two free throws, a 3-pointer and another field goal that gave them their final lead at 61-60 with 2:20 remaining.

Indiana was 21-for-24 from the free-throw line. Ohio State was just 6-for-8.

Tamarah Riley led Ohio State with 15 points and 16 rebounds, while Packer finished with 14 points.

The loss drops the Buckeyes into a first-place tie with Iowa in the Big Ten standings.
