MINNEAPOLIS — Rikki Harris made a go-ahead layup with 38 seconds left for 14th-ranked Ohio State in a 79-75 victory over second-ranked Indiana in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament.
The Buckeyes rallied from a 24-point deficit to damage the regular-season champion Hoosiers’ bid for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The rally was the largest in tournament history.
Taylor Thierry had 19 points, 12 rebounds and three steals for the Buckeyes.
They turned up their full-court press in the second half to fuel the comeback and improve their record to 25-6.
Ohio State will play Iowa in the championship game on Sunday afternoon.
