The Ohio State Basketball team let one slip away against Purdue on Tuesday evening. After being in control for most of the game, the Buckeyes let Purdue keep chipping away and finally take a lead with seconds remaining in the contest.
OSU was on a three-game winning streak before the loss to the Boilermakers and now head in Madison for a showdown with Wisconsin. The Bucks might be feeling a little bit of pressure here. They certainly don’t want to drop two conference games in a row and the Kohl Center isn’t an easy place to come out with a win — fans or no fans.
There is some good news for head coach Chris Holtmann and the rest of the Buckeye basketball team as guard CJ Walker could potentially be back for the game against the Badgers. Walker has been sidelined with an injury for the past four games. His presence at the point guard position would be a huge benefit for Ohio State.
The Buckeyes come into the contest ranked No. 15 while the Badgers are ranked No. 10 in the nation. Wisconsin sits tied for second place in conference play at 6-2, with Ohio State is in the middle of the pack at 5-4.
