After a roller-coaster regular season for the Ohio State basketball team, it’s now win or go home time. The Big Ten Tournament is set to get underway today, with Ohio State preparing for its first game on Thursday against No. 10 seed Purdue.
During the only meeting of the regular season, the Buckeyes beat Purdue easily in Columbus by sixteen. But that was in front of the home crowd. This one will be on a so-called neutral court in Indianapolis, but just down the road from the Purdue campus. It could be a much more pro-Boilermaker gathering.
Purdue has the skill and shooting to not only give Ohio State a game, but to pull off the mild upset. So how will it all go down? We’ve got everything to dig into this matchup.
