High volume sans Mobley Thornton posted 28 points (12-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 70-66 loss to Virginia.

Impact With Thornton's counterpart John Mobley (15.1 ppg) sidelined indefinitely by a hand injury, it will be up to the senior to carry the offensive load the rest of the way out if the Buckeyes plan to get on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. Thornton answered the call from an individual standpoint by matching his highest scoring total of the calendar year, but he didn't get quite enough help in what ended up a narrow home loss. The margin for error is quite slim for Ohio State moving forward with matchups against Wisconsin (Feb. 17) and Michigan State (Feb. 22) set for this week.

Leads charge for Buckeyes Thornton supplied 21 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 11-11 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 89-82 victory over USC.

Impact Thornton is trying to singlehandedly will Ohio State to an NCAA Tournament berth, and he had another solid performance Wednesday night, leading the Buckeyes in scoring and hitting clutch free throws down the stretch to earn a bounce-back victory over USC. His 11 free throws were a season-high, and he repeatedly forced the issue at the rim to close out the game and suffocate the Trojans chances of a late-game comeback. Thornton remains the driving force behind Ohio State's late-season push.

Efficient 17 in win Thornton notched 17 points (7-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Thursday's 82-62 win over Maryland.

Impact Thornton was a surgical 7-of-9 from the field in Ohio State's 20-point win over Maryland. The point guard has been extremely consistent for Ohio State this season, a steady hand in the backcourt as the Buckeyes try to fight their way into the NCAA Tournament. With a daunting schedule ahead that features Michigan, USC, Virginia, Wisconsin and Michigan State consecutively, Ohio State will lean on Thornton heavily.

Drops 23 in OT win Thornton produced 23 points (9-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and four steals over 42 minutes during Tuesday's 82-74 OT victory over Minnesota.

Impact Thornton couldn't find his shooting stroke from downtown, but he still surpassed 20 points for the third straight game and was a menace defensively with four steals, a season-best for the star point guard. Thornton is in the midst of a career year, and despite the off night from distance, there's no need to worry in that department; he's hitting 41.4 percent of his shots from downtown. He'll look to help Ohio State build off consecutive wins and stay hot as a scorer at Michigan on Friday.
