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.
