Ohio State beat Northwestern 65-56

Kam Williams felt he was in for a big game and that’s exactly what he delivered.

Williams nailed a career-high five 3-pointers while scoring 21 to lead Ohio State to a 65-56 victory over Northwestern and its seventh straight win on Wednesday night.

”I know I can get hot anywhere,” he said. ”It felt that way as soon as we got off the plane and came here. I knew I was going to have a hot hand.”

Williams was about the only one connecting for either team, finishing one point shy of his season high to help the Buckeyes (11-5, 3-0 Big Ten) extend their best streak since a 15-0 start in 2013-14. They pulled away down the stretch to beat Northwestern (13-3, 1-2) for the 28th time in 29 games.

Trevor Thompson had 12 points and 10 rebounds for Ohio State.
