 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ron Lewis hit a key driving layup and No. 3 Ohio State overcame Greg Oden's foul trouble, closing on an 11-4 run to hold off Purdue 63-56 on Saturday.
The Buckeyes (22-3, 10-1 Big Ten) were in trouble throughout the second half before Lewis broke a tie at 52-52 with a layup with 3:07 remaining off a long pass from Mike Conley Jr.
Ohio State, which won its ninth game in a row and ran its record to 16-0 at home, never trailed again but Purdue threatened right up to the final seconds.
