COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Marcus Carr’s 3-pointer with three seconds left in the game secured the season’s first Big Ten road win for Minnesota and had slumping Ohio State continuing to search for answers.

Carr, who made 3-of-5 from distance, drained the long shot on the possession after Ohio State’s Kaleb Wesson missed a wide open 3 to give the Golden Gophers a 62-59 win on Thursday night, their first in Columbus in 15 years.

Carr had 21 points as the Gophers (11-8, 5-4) rallied to stay with the Buckeyes in the second half, tying the game twice in last 1:37.

“It felt great to finally put it all together,” Carr said. “We’ve been tested on the road a lot, we just haven’t responded in the right ways. We haven’t really been able to finish it down the stretch. Having a chance to do that tonight and seeing my guys really come and especially put it together on the defensive end and for us to be in that position was huge.”

The Gophers have won three out of the last four and had won just once on the road, a neutral site game at Tulsa, Oklahoma, over Oklahoma State on Dec. 21. They beat Ohio State at home on Dec. 15.

“It feels awesome,” Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said. “It doesn’t matter where you play in this league, if you get a win it’s cause for celebration and it’s a cause for feeling good. We’ll feel good tonight then we’ll get over it. It’s very, very hard to win in this league, and we’re getting some quality wins. We’ve got some great opportunities coming up.”

Ohio State (12-7, 2-6) is going in the other direction. The Buckeyes have lost two in a row and five of the last six since Dec. 29. They climbed up to No. 2 in the AP Top 25 before the bottom dropped out. Now the season seems to be circling the drain.

Kyle Young led Ohio State with 14 points, including a pair of critical baskets down the stretch. Duane Washington Jr. had 12, CJ Walker had 11, and Wesson had 14 rebounds but only two points. Wesson came into the game as Ohio State’s leading scorer but was neutralized by Minnesota’s big man Daniel Oturu.
