In the last 56 home games for the Ohio State Buckeyes they had lost just once before facing Purdue on Tuesday night. The Boilermakers got them 60-57 in 2010, and Oho State has not lost since. The Boilermakers came in and gave them quite a ballgame before William Buford took over int he final minutes.

Buford scored seven straight points to break a 73-73 tie with 4:42 left and helped the Buckeyes survive with an 87-84 win over Purdue for their 39th straight home victory.

The Buckeyes benefited from several questionable foul calls that allowed Jared Sullinger to make a steady parade to the free throw line. He finished with 18 points, but it was Buford's 29 that was a major difference. Buford corralled a loose ball with 42 seconds left and went coast to coast for a dunk to make it 83-76.

D.J. Byrd had a career high 24 points for Purdue while Kelsey Barlow and Lewis Jackson had 14 each. Robbie Hummel finished with 13, but continued to struggle by going 4 of 13 from the floor.
