INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Evan Turner's accuracy was off, and the player widely regarded as one of the nation's best was becoming visibly frustrated in the final minutes.



When the game clock showed 2.2 seconds, those issues no longer mattered.



Turner took an inbounds pass, dribbled upcourt and drained a 37-footer at the buzzer to give No. 5 Ohio State a 69-68 win over Michigan on Friday in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals.



"You can't really practice for those moments, you just have to come out and come ready," he said.



The Big Ten player of the year left his arm in the air after the release, confident that the long shot would fall.



"I was just trying to get the ball up and get it in shooting range and keep my follow-through, and it went in," he said modestly.



Turner finished with 18 points and eight assists for the Buckeyes (25-7), who advanced to play Illinois in the semifinals on Saturday.
