Ohio State vs. Michigan basketball: 3 keys to a Buckeye victory

Ohio State’s set to host Michigan in a Sunday afternoon Big Ten matchup. Here are three keys to a Buckeye victory.

It’s time again for another Ohio State vs. Michigan matchup, and while it may not be as intense as on the gridiron, there’s still no love lost between these two schools. The two could be matching up in a debate about climate change and it would be followed with a ton of vitriol.

And while both teams seem to be positioned to get into the NCAA Tournament, there’s improved seeding on the line not only with the Big Dance, but when it comes to the Big Ten Tournament in about a week and a half.

Both teams sit at 9-8 in the league, and a win locks up at least a .500 record in conference play for either squad. Ohio State wants that to be in its corner, and not something with a maize and blue hue.

Here are three keys to victory for the Buckeye basketball team against the Wolverines.
