WATCH: Shannon Scott and Trey McDonald Combine for Sweet Play in Ohio State's Win Over Wisconsin

A couple weeks ago the Buckeyes were on top of the world, undefeated, and the No. 3 team in the nation. Fast forward to the end of the month and they were on the verge of falling out of the top 25 after losing five of their last six. If there was ever a team in need of a big win it's them.

With a game against No. 14 Wisconsin on tap Saturday a big win was there's for the taking--and take it they did.

From Bleacher Report

The Buckeyes were down by as much as seven early in the game, but stellar play like the one above involving Shannon Scott and Trey McDonald kept the game close. In the end it was Aaron Craft working his magic with seven consecutive points (a three, a layup, and a pair of free throws) that put the Buckeyes up for good, 57-56.

The win could be enough to keep Ohio State in the top 25 in spite of the loss to Penn State, but if they do they will have the chance to earn their way back in when they face off against Iowa State on Tuesday.
