After a tough loss to No. 10 Nebraska on Monday evening, Ohio State traveled to Eugene to take on the Oregon Ducks in a late-night tip. The Buckeyes led the entirety of the game minus the first 19 seconds and would win by a score of 72-62. It was a nice bounce-back win, giving OSU a 3-0 conference road record and marking the first time the Buckeyes have started Big Ten play with three wins on the road since the 2017-2018 season.
Ohio State would go on a 21-0 run midway through the second half to extend the lead to a 24-point margin. Oregon tried to make it a game in the final minutes, cutting the lead to nine, but Jake Diebler's club was able to hold off the comeback bid and hang on for the win.

All five Buckeye starters got to double digits in scoring, led by Christoph Tilly and Devin Royal with 14 points each. Bruce Thornton and John Mobley Jr. each scored 12, and Amare Bynum added 10.
Ohio State moves to 11-4 on the season and will stay on the West Coast for a Sunday tilt with Washington in Seattle. The game will tip at 6 pm ET.
