The Ohio State Buckeyes have been the surprise team of the Big Ten Tournament, and they will try to continue their magical run when they face the top-seeded Purdue Boilermakers in the semifinals on Saturday afternoon.
The Buckeyes entered the tournament as the No. 13 seed and had to win four games in four days just to make the semifinals. But they have been up to the task, defeating Minnesota, Northwestern, and Michigan State along the way. Ohio State has been led by junior guard Duane Washington Jr., who has averaged 20.3 points per game in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Purdue had a much easier path to the semifinals, winning their quarterfinal matchup against Rutgers 70-65. The Boilermakers have been one of the best teams in the Big Ten all season, finishing with a 23-8 record and a No. 13 ranking in the AP poll. Purdue’s success has been built on its balanced scoring attack, with four players averaging double-digit points per game.
