Indiana has been hot just at the right time beating Wisconsin, Michigan State, Illinois and Rutgers. Concurrently, Ohio State is on a three game skid after getting stomped by Purdue and Northwestern and coming up just short in their comeback efforts against Wisconsin.
Indiana and Ohio State are both slated as either a “last four in” or “first four out” team in almost every bracketology measurement. This makes for a fantastic game as the winner will likely make the tournament while the loser will most likely have their hearts broken on Selection Sunday.
In the only regular season matchup at Assembly Hall, Ohio State prevailed by a score of 55-52.
