Key Player For Ohio State
Kaleb Wesson with his fourth foul on a moving screen. He also has six turnovers.
Minnesota's up, 53-37, on Ohio State.
Gophers shooting 58 percent. Buckeyes shooting 34 percent.

Kaleb Wesson. It’s Wesson again. He must keep Minnesota big man Daniel Oturu off the glass and limit his effectiveness on the offensive end. Wesson has to also cut down on the turnovers. The Gophers will collapse on him down low again and he has to see it coming and pass to the open man before he gets locked down. Score when given the chance, but allow others to get involved when it makes sense.
How It’ll All Go Down
Ohio State will get it done tonight. It likely won’t be easy, but Minnesota got an all-time performance from guard Marcus Carr last game. He’s not going for 35 again in this one, and the Buckeyes are much more confident playing at home this year. It’ll shoot better, defend better, and get a much needed win.
Final Score
Ohio State 74, Minnesota 65
Line
Ohio State -7.5
