OSU BASKETBALL Badgers cruise in record rout

Wisconsin has won 26 straight home games.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Devin Harris scored 33 points and No. 17 Wisconsin beat Ohio State 78-48 on Saturday night, the Badgers' biggest rout of the Buckeyes since the series began in 1905.
The Badgers (17-4, 8-2) stayed in first place in the Big Ten and improved to 22-0 in conference games at the Kohl Center under third-year coach Bo Ryan, the longest such streak in school history.
Wisconsin has won 26 straight games at the Kohl Center with an average margin of victory of 20.5 points.
Ohio State (11-12, 3-7) didn't have an answer for Harris, who scored 29 in Wisconsin's 69-57 victory in Columbus on Jan. 28.
When J.J. Sullinger's basket cut the Badgers' lead to 43-34 early in the second half, Harris scored inside, fed Boo Wade for a basket on a fast break, drove past two defenders for a layup, hit a 3-pointer and, lastly, made two free throws which gave Wisconsin a 54-39 lead with 10:23 left.
Harris hit a 3 that made it 57-39 as the game deteriorated into another blowout.
Mike Wilkinson added 14 points for Wisconsin, and Sullinger led the Buckeyes with 14.
The Badgers were 32-of-38 from the free throw line, led by Harris, who was 16-of-18. The Buckeyes were just 7-of-17 from the line.
Taking over
Harris also had a dominant stretch at the end of the first half after the Buckeyes used a 10-0 run to go ahead 26-25. Harris scored eight points in an 11-2 run the Badgers used to take a 36-28 halftime lead.
Ricardo Billings gave the Buckeyes a 28-27 lead with a dunk at 2:37, but he slapped the backboard with his right hand on his way down, drawing a technical foul.
Ohio State wouldn't score again in the first half, and Harris scored six points, starting with a free throw on the technical, which Wilkinson followed with a 3-pointer that gave Wisconsin the lead for good.
Ohio State was whistled for 17 first-half fouls, including three apiece on starters Sullinger, Chad Fuss-Cheatham and Velimir Radinovic, and the Badgers went 18-of-20 from the free throw line.
Ohio State was 0-for-1 from the line in the first half.
Fuss-Cheatham fouled out just 5:15 into the second half.
By the closing minutes, the student section was chanting, "Just like football," needling the Buckeyes about their 17-10 loss at Camp Randall in October that ended Ohio State's 19-game winning streak.
