But not against a team like Ohio State. The Spartans rallied in the second half Saturday, then collapsed under the Buckeyes' pressure defense and lost 78-65. Eighth-ranked Ohio State (11-3 Big Ten,19-5 overall) led 49-41 with 14 minutes left before No. 12 Michigan State (8-6,18-6) started to roll. The Spartans outscored the Buckeyes 8-2 over the next two minutes, cutting the margin to two. But Jimmy Jackson, who finished with 20 points, hit a jump-hook for Ohio State and the Buckeyes' full- court press then forced three Michigan State turnovers to take a 59-49 lead. Ohio-State got 27 points off 18 Spartan turnovers. "We were always in their lanes, and pressuring their passes," said Chris Jent, who scored 19 points for the Buckeyes. "If we do our job on defense, and get hands on their passes, we can really disrupt their offense." "They started a big lineup, so we wanted to get Chris out on the perimeter," Ayers said. "He hit some shots early, and that gave him some great confidence." The Buckeyes used a 10-2 run to take a 22-14 lead in the first half, but Michigan State rallied to tie it at 23. However, Ohio State used another surge to take a 42-34 halftime lead. "We were just out of sync, which we have been for some time now," Michigan State coach Jud Heathcote said. "They got all those points off our turnovers, and most of those were unforced." Michigan State played without starting forward Matt Steigenga, who has a fractured right foot. "We've struggled in our half- court offense all year, and Matt be- ing out makes it worse," Heathcote said. "We turned the ball over, we took some questionable shots, and we panicked." 0 Ohio State cruised from leading by as many as 21; down the stretch. there, points "We got an All-American effort from Jimmy Jackson, but you win games with defense," Ohio State coach Randy Ayers said. "Our de- fense did a great job of getting after them, and we did a solid job on Mike Peplowski." Peplowski and Dwayne Stephens led the Spartans with 13 points each.
