The Ohio State men’s basketball team will be facing a No. 1 ranked Michigan State team on the court on Sunday, but in the days leading up to the competition, the Buckeye men’s hockey team will try their hand at besting the Spartans on the ice.
The Buckeyes have been climbing up the rankings, as they’ve turned out to be much better this season than expected. The Spartans haven’t quite bounced back as strongly in 2017, but they do feature some of the best young talent in the country — setting them up for seasons to come — including Mitchell Lewandowski, Taro Hirose, and Patrick Khodorenko.
