Despite losing the 19 points per game scoring average that John Shurna brings to Northwestern, the Wildcats seem to be holding their own against the top-ranked, undefeated Buckeyes -- at least in the first half.

Ohio State led for most of the first half, until freshman JerShon Cobb nailed a three-pointer at about the 4:40 mark.

Buckeye freshman Jared Sullinger tied the score at 23 late in the first half and OSU went into halftime with a 27-25 lead.
