Key Player For Ohio State
So the #Buckeyes didn’t do well without Kaleb Wesson last time out. Where did it all go wrong at Wisconsin? Here’s some analysis of how that unfolded: https://t.co/1y69ueRKde

Kaleb Wesson. With D.J. Carton out and a lack of identity with pieces being moved around, Wesson has to have a big game from here on out for Ohio State to be at the top of its game. He needs to get engaged and effective early. When that happens, it tends to open up the offense for others on the perimeter. He has to play tough, stay out of foul trouble, and be the player he can be when he’s really into it.
How It’ll All Go Down
It won’t be easy, but this is one Ohio State should win. Rutgers is a much-improved squad this year, but it has played off the emotion of the home crowd with some big wins, but has yet to get a big-time quality win on the road.
Look for it to be a tight game, but one in which Ohio State plays hard, physical defense and does just enough on the offensive end to put this one in the win column.
Final Score
Ohio State 71, Rutgers 65
Line
Ohio State -5.5
