Jackson Shelstad scored 24 points and made two free throws with seven seconds left as No. 15 Oregon rallied late to beat Ohio State 73-71 on Thursday night.
Nate Bittle had 21 points, eight rebounds and three blocks for Oregon (14-2, 3-2 Big Ten), which took a 70-67 lead on TJ Bamba‘s shot in the lane with 40 seconds left. After Ohio State scored, Shelstad was trapped in the corner and turned it over, leading to two free throws by freshman John Mobley Jr. to give the Buckeyes a 71-70 lead with 12.6 seconds to play.
Shelstad raced the other way for a quick shot, and he was fouled before making two free throws to give Oregon a one-point lead. Bruce Thornton had a decent look at a 3-pointer from the top of the key, but it was short and Bittle secured the rebound.
Thornton led Ohio State (10-6, 2-3) with 20 points and Mobley had 16.
