Ohio State loses first game

Creighton got a bucket with less than five seconds remaining to beat OSU.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Creighton continues to play David slaying Goliath in the Guardians Classic.
Creighton, which is considered a mid-major in the Missouri Valley Conference, finds it difficult to get a team from major conferences to come to Omaha, Neb.
The Guardians Classic, however, provided the Bluejays a chance to play big name schools, and they made the most of it, knocking off Ohio State, Missouri and Notre Dame.
Tyler McKinney hit a game-winning field goal with 4.2 seconds remaining in overtime as Creighton defeated Ohio State 65-63 in the championship game Wednesday night.
"We get up for these games with power-conference teams," said Bluejays guard Nate Funk. "We don't get a chance to play them very often. That's why we come here."
Second tournament title
Creighton (5-0) became the first school to win two Guardians Classic titles. The Bluejays defeated Notre Dame in the 2002 title game.
McKinney, who also sank a free throw with 28 seconds to go in overtime, finished with 11 points and was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament. He also set a tournament record with 30 assists in four games.
"He had 17 assists and two turnovers in the two games here," said Dana Altman, who picked up his 200th victory as the Creighton coach. "He doesn't score a lot of points, so people don't understand the significance he has for us."
Anthony Tolliver led the Bluejays with 13 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out with 43 seconds remaining in regulation.
Creighton scored the first five points of the overtime with Jeffrey Day and Johnny Mathies hitting field goals and freshman Dane Watts, who had nine points, making a free throw. Ohio State (4-1) came back to tie it at 63 with a 3-pointer by Tony Stockman with 15 seconds to go.
Sullinger leads Buckeyes
J.J. Sullinger had 16 points for Ohio State, including a follow shot with eight seconds remaining that tied the game and sent it into overtime. Ivan Harris added 11 points, but only two after halftime.
Creighton rallied from a nine-point deficit with less than eight minutes to play in regulation to take the lead before Sullinger hit the final shot.
"I think our full-court press got us going," McKinney said. "We got some steals off of it. We got some energy from the press and it helped pick us up."
The Buckeyes were up 46-37 with 7:18 remaining when John Mathies made a 3-pointer. Then freshman Dane Watts made a backcourt steal and fed McKinney, who was fouled making a lay-up. McKinney also made his free throw, cutting the Ohio State lead to three points in a 12-second span.
"We're up by nine and they get six straight points without us getting the ball back," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "That was a killer right there."
Funk said it turned around the game to favor the Bluejays.
Altman agreed.
"Those were two big plays that really changed the momentum of the game," Altman said. "That changed the complexion of the game real fast."
