#1 ranked Ohio State jumped out to an early lead, but the Tar Heels fought back and took control in the second half, finally putting the Buckeyes away, 98-89. The game was part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, which pits teams from the two conferences against one another.

OSU was without 7’1″ freshman phenom Greg Oden, who should be ready to play in a few weeks. During the game, there were several shots of him sitting on the Buckeye bench, and I have to say that for an 18 year-old, he looks like he’s about 30. Regardless, when the team works him into the lineup, they are going to be tough to beat.
