Indiana men’s basketball’s senior guards made perhaps the two biggest plays in the Hoosiers’ 77-76 overtime win over Ohio State (10-8, 2-5 Big Ten) in Columbus. Goode nailed a game-winning 3-pointer with just over one minute remaining, while Leal blocked Ohio State freshman guard John Mobley Jr.’s mid-range jumper with three seconds left.

After sixth-year center Oumar Ballo controlled the loose ball, he looked to one teammate — senior forward Luke Goode. As quickly as the pass arrived in Goode’s hands, it left them. He rose up from the right wing, releasing the orange ball into a backdrop of scarlet and gray.
