The games continue to be huge for the Ohio State basketball squad in the deep, talented Big Ten. Michigan is looking to run away and hide when it comes to the regular-season conference title, but there’s still a lot on the line. The Buckeyes are trying to hold onto a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament, and need to grab some momentum as the postseason nears after losing two straight games.

Iowa is the team just behind the Buckeyes in the standings, and a win would allow Iowa to leapfrog OSU into the third spot in the league. It’s a huge matchup between two big-men when you consider what will happen in and around the post between Luka Garza and E.J. Liddell. There’s sure to be a lot of points scored between two highly efficient offenses.

Let’s dive into all this game has to offer, and end it off with a prediction.
