Ohio State 63, Nebraska 56
LINCOLN, Neb. — Ohio State didn’t shoot particularly great from the field, but the Buckeyes didn’t really need to. Not with the way they were shooting free throws. Lenzelle Smith Jr. scored 21 points, and No. 11 Ohio State was 23-of-28 at the foul line, the difference as the Buckeyes defeated Nebraska 63-56 on Saturday night at Devaney Sports Center.

Don’t get the impression Bell is selfish. He needed a reporter to tell him how many receiving yards he had. ”He brings a lot of life to the team, and he’s made some great plays,” fellow receiver Tim Marlowe said. ”His yards after the catch are amazing.
