With all the madness of the College Football Playoff, you may have forgotten Ohio State has a basketball team too. The Buckeyes are fresh off wins over Valparaiso, Kentucky, and Indiana State as the team seems like it’s starting to find its rhythm.
The non-conference portion of the schedule is over and it’s Big Ten play from here on out starting tonight. Ohio State welcomes No. 18 Michigan State to Value City Arena for a rare Friday night tip. The Spartans are fairly balanced on the offensive side of the ball and play a typical Tom Izzo style of basketball with solid fundamentals and few mistakes. Michigan State comes into the contest with an 11-2 record and sits atop the Big Ten standings.
Here’s how to catch all the action.
