No. 22 Ohio State ekes out 86-83 win over No. 15 Illinois

Associated Press  

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Freshman Malaki Branham scored 31 points to lift No. The result dealt a serious blow to Illinois’ Big Ten title hopes, dropping them a full game behind leaders Purdue and Wisconsin two weeks left in the regular season. “It’s hard to attack them inside because of Kofi size,” Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann said. BIG PICTURE Ohio State: Branham is the emerging star, but Young looks to be stepping up as the Buckeyes’ third scorer behind him and Liddell. Young’s efficiency helped Ohio State hang around despite a sluggish start, and his attentiveness on the glass can help limit second chances for opponents.
