BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -- Bracey Wright scored 23 points and carried Indiana in the second half Saturday, leading the Hoosiers past Ohio State 67-60.
D.J. White added 15 points but spent much of the second half on the bench with ice packs on his thighs. That forced Wright into the primary scoring role and he delivered the kind of performance Indiana (9-7, 4-1) needed.
Wright scored 18 points in the final 20 minutes, including 12 straight during one stretch, as the Hoosiers won their fourth straight.
Indiana has won seven of eight games and retained a share of second place in the Big Ten.
Ohio State (12-7, 1-4) was led by Terence Dials, who scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half, but the Buckeyes still could not avoid their fourth straight loss. Dials also grabbed 13 rebounds.
Indiana took control in the first half when it built a 31-23 halftime lead that it extended to 10 after White scored the first basket of the second half.
But Ohio State hit 8 of its first 10 shots in the second half and used a 14-2 run to take a 37-35 lead when Ivan Harris hit a 3-pointer with 15:20 left.
That's when Wright began his scoring binge. He scored 12 straight for the Hoosiers, finishing the run with a three-point play that gave Indiana a 47-44 lead with 12:40 to go.
Ohio State closed to 55-54 on another 3-pointer from Harris with 4:51 to go, but the Buckeyes hit just one more basket, and the Hoosiers sealed the win with eight straight free throws in the last 1:09.
