Ohio State Buckeyes
Last time out, Ohio State hosted the Minnesota Golden Gophers and suffered a poor 70-67 defeat.

This is a bad loss for Ohio State and their tournament chances are declining by the day. Ohio State never led by more than two points, trailed by as much as 11, and lost outright as -14.0-point favorites.
Brice Sensabaugh had 18 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. Justice Sueing added 13 points, five rebounds, two assists and one block on the night.

Rutgers took a trip to Evanston and left with a tough 65-62 victory. The Scarlet Knights led most of this game, but the Wildcats kept it tight throughout.
