INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Evan Turner drained a 37-footer at the buzzer to give No. 5 Ohio State a 69-68 win over Michigan today in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals.

Turner took the inbounds pass, dribbled upcourt and pulled up barely past halfcourt. The Big Ten player of the year left his arm in the air after the release, confident the long shot would fall.
