Jordan Geronimo sank a 3-pointer to tie the score at 16, and Jackson-Davis followed with the first of his four first-half dunks to put the Hoosiers ahead.

Ohio State regained the lead 28-27 on Justin Ahrens' 3-pointer and went up 30-29 on a pair of free throws by Brunk. But the Hoosiers closed the half on a 4-0 run, including an 18-footer from Xavier Johnson with 5 seconds left in the first half to put Indiana up 33-30 at halftime.
