Time for Ohio State to do some damage in Indy
Michigan State 80, Ohio State 69
On the the Big Ten tournament. Ohio State, which plays Thursday, is a No. 6 seed if Iowa wins and a No. 7 seed if Illinois wins.

Despite the loss, this is still a team that won nine of its last twelve and is peaking at the right moment. The turnovers have gotten much better, the team is taking better shots, and a couple of players that weren’t much of a scoring option early are starting to join the fray (see C.J. Walker and E.J. Liddell).
Over the last few weeks when Ohio State found an antidote for the January ills it had, it beat ranked teams Maryland, Michigan twice, and Illinois. It played tougher on the road and has found some things and roles for parts of the lineup that were up in the air.
That all equates to a team that can not only win one game in the Big Ten Tournament, but could be a sleeper to do some significant damage. There’s a lot to like with what this team has evolved into, and it might be getting some help back with Kyle Young to add into the mix.
Don’t be surprised if OSU goes on a little run here in a neutral court setting.
