At halftime of yesterday's basketball game between Ohio State and Purdue, the chances of a Buckeye victory weren't looking very promising. Ohio State trailed the Boilermakers by 12 at halftime after shooting a dismal 7 for 26 from the field.
But something changed in the second half. The Buckeyes were able to rally to a 65-61 win and earn a huge Big Ten victory.
The change that was made? Well, it was probably Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones' move to the student section for the game's second half. According to LanternTV, Jones made the switch at halftime and the Buckeyes never looked back:

Cardale then expressed his displeasure with the game's officiating.
Come on refs

Wow, I'm almost 100 percent sure that these refs are footlocker employees #GoBucks

Things weren't looking good for the Buckeyes, so Cardale offered up his services.
It may be time to suit up.... Sam, let me rock that 12 jersey #GoBucks

Ohio State started to mount its comeback and the trash talk was back.
Number 1 from Purdue got a hair line like he's 46

Another bad call was then made in Cardale's eyes.
I really hope these refs cars are getting towed as I tweet! #GoBucks

D'Angelo Russell took over the game with 17 second-half points and Ohio State pulled out the win.
Russell BALLIN!!! #GoBucks
