Jalen Billups contributed 11 points, pulled down nine rebounds, and shot 5-of-8 from the field for the Norse in a losing effort.

HALFTIME: LaQuinton Ross scored 13 points for No. 4 Ohio State in the first half to carry the Buckeyes to a 36-22 lead over Northern Kentucky.

The Norse went into a funk with the score 22-16, going 3:43 without a point while Ohio State went on a 12-0 run to open up an 18-point lead.
