After a win over Minnesota to open conference play, Ohio State is turning its attention to Illinois.
Conference play has officially begun for the Ohio State Buckeyes, who are riding a five-game winning streak into Sunday’s matchup against the Illinois Fighting Illini. The Buckeyes opened Big Ten play with a 15-point win over Minnesota behind a 20-point performance by junior forward Marc Loving, and hope to make it six-straight after falling below .500 just a few weeks ago. After embarrassing losses to UT-Arlington and Louisiana Tech, Ohio State rebounded with an improbable win over No.
