US EditionThomas, Lewis Help No. 15 Virginia Beat Ohio State 70-66 in Nashville
- On Feb. 14, the Virginia Cavaliers men's basketball team defeated the Ohio State Buckeyes 70-66 at Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, in the Nashville Hoops Showdown.
- Playing without John Mobley Jr., Ohio State saw Virginia erase an early Ohio State lead, and the game was tied 37-37 at halftime after Virginia responded with a 6-0 run, with Lewis forcing a turnover for the decisive layup.
- A boisterous crowd of 6,438 fans watched as Bruce Thornton led Ohio State with 28 points and his 500th career assist, while Malik Thomas and Lewis each scored 13 for Virginia.
- Virginia's road record improved to 10-2, including 3-1 in neutral games, while Ohio State fell to 16-9, will host Wisconsin on Tuesday night, and remains without John Mobley Jr.
- This neutral-site victory also highlights Virginia's nonconference strength as Ryan Odom, Virginia head coach, became the winningest first-year coach and Ohio State’s NCAA hopes remain unresolved with a 1-8 Quad 1 record.
