Kaleb Wesson. At tournament time, you need your best players to step up. It’s time Wesson provides a big-time scoring option in the bright lights. He’s a matchup nightmare when he’s hitting his outside shot and finishing at the rim. Unfortunately, rarely are both in concert in the same game. If he can get a double-double with at least fifteen points and ten rebounds, this one is likely in the win column for the Buckeyes.
How It’ll All Go Down
Ohio State has shown through the latter half of the Big Ten season that it’s the better team here. But it won’t be easy. Purdue will be extremely motivated because the only way it’s getting into the NCAA Tournament is with an improbably run through the Big Ten Tournament, so it’ll be playing with a lot of motivation.
It won’t matter. Ohio State will be able to lock things down on the defensive end and will use balanced scoring to beat the Boilermakers for the second time this season. It’ll be closer than the easy sixteen point win back in February though.
Final Score
Ohio State 67, Purdue 60
