COLUMBUS, Ohio – Jon Diebler lived up to his “3-bler” nickname by hitting 7 of 8 shots behind the arc while scoring 27 points, leading top-ranked Ohio State to an emotional 93-65 victory over No. 10 Wisconsin on Sunday.

Freshman Jared Sullinger added 22 points, William Buford had 18 and David Lighty 13 for the Buckeyes (29-2, 16-2 Big Ten), who got back at the Badgers (23-7, 13-5) for a painful loss a month ago.

After that defeat, Sullinger said a fan spit in his face.

Wisconsin Coach Bo Ryan added, “We won the game. Deal with it.”

Ohio State, which hit 6 of 7 3-point attempts while building a 15-point halftime lead, set a pair of NCAA records in the win. The Buckeyes hit 93.3 percent from 3-point range (14 of 15) and followed a miss on their first attempt with 14 straight 3s.

The previous mark for consecutive 3-pointers made was 11 by Niagara in 1987.

(20) KENTUCKY 64, TENNESSEE 58: Brandon Knight scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half, and Kentucky (22-8, 10-6 SEC) beat host Tennessee (18-13, 8-8).
