Tanner Holden made just one field goal for Ohio State in Thursday’s clash against Rutgers. Fortunately, Holden saved that bucket for a clutch moment late.

With time running out and Rutgers leading 66-64, the Buckeyes found Holden for an open shot at the buzzer. Holden drained the dagger, sending Ohio State to a 67-66 win as time expired.

While Holden provided the dramatics, this game was actually a story about the big guys down low on either side. For Ohio State, Zed Key led all scorers with a game-high 22 points and 14 rebounds while shooting 9-for-12 from the floor.

On the other side of the matchup, Cliff Omoruyi led Rutgers with 16 points and 8 rebounds while shooting 7-for-10 from the floor.
