Key Player For Ohio State
Loved Ohio State's dual PG look over the final few minutes with C.J. Walker and D.J. Carton on the floor together. Buckeyes weren't perfect, but displayed quality depth and versatility. 1-0.

C.J. Walker. Walker has to run this team on the road. He’s the seasoned guy that knows more of what it’s like to go into hostile territory and battle through adversity. But he hasn’t been able to lead this team through the fire so far this year for whatever reason. Clearly it’s not all his fault, but if this team is going to turn things around, it’ll need the guy that handles the ball more than anyone else on the team pull it out of the fire. Walker doesn’t necessarily have to drop a ton of points, but he has to smart, get guys open and take care of the basketball.
How It’ll All Go Down
I’ll admit. I can’t figure this team out. I’ve picked this team to win when I think it should and it’s lost. I’ve counted the Buckeyes out before early in the season and they proved me wrong. This might be Northwestern, but it has all the pieces to knock off a fragile Ohio State team at its place. This one will be close, but the Wildcats want a win badly too, and they smell scarlet blood in the water. I just don’t see this Buckeye team being tough enough to figure things out on the road right now.
Final Score
Northwestern 68, Ohio State 65
Line
Ohio State -6
