INDIANAPOLIS -- If Ohio State can get its big men to outhustle Michigan State’s like in the first game … and defend Bryn Forbes the way it did in the second game … and spring a surprise or two …
Maybe this Ohio State team can join the Ohio State teams of 2003 and 2009 and pull an upset of Michigan State in the Big Ten tournament to avoid a three-game season sweep. That 2003 MSU team ended up reaching the Elite Eight, and the 2009 team got all the way to the NCAA title game in Detroit.
