COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State shot 60 percent in the second half to pull away from Indiana State and cruise to a 103-83 victory on Sunday afternoon inside the Value City Arena.

The Buckeyes have finished non-conference action and are 9-4 overall on the year.

Junior guard Bruce Thornton followed his 30-point effort last week against No. 4 Kentucky with a career-high 33 points on Sunday. He becomes the first Buckeye with back-to-back 30-poing games since Evan Turner had back-to-back 31-point games on March 13 and 14 of 2010. Thornton also pulled down a season-high six rebounds and had three assists.
