Nails game-winner Ivey produced 21 points (8-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 81-78 win over Ohio State. Impact Ivey may have came off the bench for the second consecutive contest, but his usage was back to previous levels, with Sunday representing the first time he's attempted 20 shots all season. No other Boilermaker player got to double digits. The biggest of that bunch came in the game's final second, when Ivey seemed to deviate from the play called in the huddle to instead take a contested, tiebreaking three-pointer. It worked out for the best and made Ivey the hero, giving the sophomore another highlight on what's likely to be a first-team all-Big Ten season.
