ESPN Watch List juniors Clifton Garrett (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield South), Dominique Booth (Indianapolis/Pike), Thaddeus Snodgrass (Springfield, Ohio/Springfield), Malik McDowell (Detroit/Loyola) and Damon Webb (Detroit/Cass Tech) were on hand to watch the Buckeyes eke out a 17-16 win over Michigan State.
