We’ve got a big one on tap between Ohio State and Michigan, and this time it takes place in a basketball arena rather than in a football stadium. It’s the first time the Buckeyes and Wolverines have met in hoops when both are ranked in the top five, both are currently thought to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and there are first-place conference implications on the line.

So yeah, it’s a big one.

Michigan has just one loss this year and is a bonafide national title contender. Ohio State has improved greatly from the beginning of the year, and many feel it has the same ceiling.

It’s almost time to tip this thing off, and we’re giving you everything you need to know to get ready for the game, including a prediction.
