WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Deshaun Thomas scored 22 points Tuesday night to lead No. 15 Ohio State past Purdue, 74-64, in Big Ten play.

The Buckeyes (12-3, 2-1) rebounded from their first Big Ten loss by shooting 56.4 percent from the field. They took a 10-point halftime lead despite losing point guard Aaron Craft for all but 4:19 of the first half because of early foul trouble, and Buckeyes coach Thad Matta got his 100th Big Ten victory.

Ohio State has won four of the past five in this series and eight of its past 10 overall.
