Thornton scores 25, becomes all-time leading scorer for Ohio State as Buckeyes top Indiana 91-78

On Saturday, March 7, 2026, Bruce Thornton, Ohio State's senior guard, set the school scoring record with a 3-pointer over Conor Enright as Ohio State beat Indiana 91-78 at the Schottenstein Center.
On senior day at the Schottenstein Center, Bruce Thornton entered his final home game with 2,085 points, 11 shy of Dennis Hopson's record, as Ohio State honored him, Brandon Noel, and Christoph Tilly.
Ohio State shot 67.9% in the first half and 59.2% for the game, making 11 of 24 3-pointers while Amare Bynum and John Mobley Jr. each scored 18 points.
The victory likely secures Ohio State Buckeyes' NCAA Tournament case, while Indiana Hoosiers now likely need at least two Big Ten Tournament wins to reach March Madness, starting Wednesday, March 11.
Passing Dennis Hopson, Thornton became Ohio State's career scoring leader, with notable alumni including Jerry Lucas, Jim Jackson and Scoonie Penn attending, boosting program momentum.
