5 things Michigan basketball fans should know about Ohio State

No. 3 Michigan basketball takes on No. 4 Ohio State on Sunday. Here’s what Michigan basketball fans need to know about the Buckeyes.

There have been multiple times this basketball season that a challenge has awaited the Wolverines, whether it’s COVID-19, a supposedly formidable Big Ten team, or just recently how Michigan would fare after being shut down for a couple of weeks. Thus far the maize and blue have taken every challenge and defeated it, so how will Michigan do with this next challenge?

On Sunday, the Wolverines will be challenged like no other game this season as they travel south to face rival Ohio State. The Buckeyes are only a half-game back from Michigan in the Big Ten standings, and they’ve been on a roll, having gone 10-1 in their last eleven games played, showing the nation why they’re ranked No. 4 in the country.

With COVID-19 playing a big factor in the football season this past year, ‘The Game’ never happened, so to most fans, this game means a ton. This will be the only meeting between the rivals — unless they meet in the Big Ten Tournament.

Before watching the Wolverines face-off with the Buckeyes on Sunday, here are five things you should know about OSU.
