Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Deshaun Thomas tallied a game-high 17 points
and grabbed seven rebounds to lead No. 10 Ohio State to its fifth Big Ten
Tournament title with a 50-43 triumph over 22nd-ranked Wisconsin on Sunday at
United Center.
Aaron Craft contributed nine points and six boards for the Buckeyes (26-7),
who held the Badgers without a field goal over the final seven minutes as they
closed the contest on an 11-2 outburst.
Ohio State has taken three of the last four Big Ten Tournament titles and will
likely earn a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Traevon Jackson led Wisconsin (23-11) with 10 points, while Sam Dekker donated
eight points off the bench for the Badgers, who must wait until the brackets
are released later on Sunday to see where they will be seeded in the NCAA
Tournament.
