COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Bucknell saw its chance but couldn't quite get there.

Trailing No. 15 Ohio State by two points, the Bison had the ball after a Buckeyes turnover with 14 seconds left. But a 3-point shot by Bruce Moore bounced off the front of the rim. Ohio State rebounded and held on for a 73-71 victory Saturday.

"Our guys were aware of taking away the 3 in that situation," Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann said. "I totally get why they went for 3 on the road. If I'm him, I'm probably doing the same thing, but a two is a good option, too."
