The Ohio State basketball team heads back home to host Nebraska after what can only be explained as a gut punch at Northwestern. After squandering the lead late in Evanston and losing by one measly point, the Buckeyes now must get back in the win column.

If the rest of the Big Ten season looks anything like the beginning of it, the winner of the conference is going to have a few losses saddled around their neck. One-game here or there could make all the difference between finishing atop the standings vs. being stuck in the middle of the pack.

So far, Nebraska hasn’t gotten off to the best of starts, but the ‘Huskers still have a team capable of creating some fits and will get their fair share of upsets and moments during the season.

It’s just another day in the rough and tumble Big Ten, and OSU desperately needs to even its Big Ten record to 2-2 if it can.
