Kaleb Wesson. He should be able to have a field day in this one, and the Buckeyes might need him to with forward Kyle Young out recovering from an appendectomy. That means OSU loses a lot of the dirty work on the boards and down in the paint, and Wesson is the most likely guy to pick up the slack — especially on the defensive boards. Wesson must play an all-around game Friday night and stay out of foul trouble with a thinner bench.
How It’ll All Go Down
Don’t be surprised if this game is close throughout. Playing Wisconsin tends to play out that way. It’ll be a grinding, physical game and the Badgers will try to slow it down and make Ohio State work for everything. That’s okay. The Buckeyes have more skill and more talent than Wisconsin this year and will win one that is slightly more entertaining than watching a root canal.
Final Score
Ohio State 62, Wisconsin 54
