Wisconsin holds off Ohio State
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 28 - 02 - 2012

Center Jared Berggren scored Wisconsin's final 5 points — including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 31 seconds left — and the 16th-ranked Badgers beat No. 8 Ohio State, 63-60, Sunday, assuring Michigan State of at least a share of the Big Ten title.
With Ohio State ahead by a point, Berggren swished a shot from beyond the arc on the left wing. The Badgers were only 15 seconds into the shot clock, but Berggren said he and his teammates knew to take the first good shot.
“They're a good defensive team, so you know open looks can be hard to come by,” said Berggren, a 6-foot-10 junior who finished with 18 points. “So when we get an opportunity like that, you have to step up with confidence.”
Ohio State called a timeout and worked the ball to Deshaun Thomas, who led the Buckeyes with 23 points. But his shot hit the back of the rim. Berggren grabbed the rebound and made two free throws with 14.2 seconds left for a 63-59 lead.
It was a huge win for the Badgers (21-8, 10-6), who had not beaten a top-10 team on the road since topping No. 4 Ohio State, 72-71, on Jan. 26, 1980.
Louisville 57, Pittsburgh 54: Guard Russ Smith scored 18 points and Kyle Kuric added 17 as No. 17 Louisville (22-7, 10-6 Big East) beat visiting Pittsburgh.
Indiana 69, Minnesota 50: Christian Watford rediscovered his shooting stroke with 12 points for No. 23 Indiana (22-7, 9-7 Big Ten), which blew out sputtering Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Miami Star ruled ineligible
Miami center Reggie Johnson was declared ineligible by the Hurricanes after an investigation revealed that members of his family took impermissible travel benefits that the university said came from a member of the former coach Frank Haith's staff.
The announcement was made about an hour before Miami beat No. 15 Florida State, 78-62, a result that certainly helped the Hurricanes' postseason résumé. Miami improved to 17-10.
In other games: Anthony Collins's two free throws with 3.2 seconds left gave host South Florida (18-11, 11-5) a 46-45 win over Cincinnati (20-9, 10-6) and a tie with Georgetown for fourth in the Big East. ... Host Stony Brook (20-8, 14-2) clinched the America East regular-season title with a 55-48 win over Maine. ... In a battle for second place in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, Loyola (Md.) won at Manhattan (20-11, 12-6), 62-60.
