The young Ohio State Buckeyes have won their last six games in large part because of their talent and athletic ability, but against Northwestern they must play more efficiently. If they go on long stretches without scoring and expect to have a big run to make up for it, they may come away disappointed.
Northwestern is known for their controlled style of basketball, and this season they are more talented than usual as indicated by their 13-2 record. This will be the most difficult test the young Buckeyes have faced yet, as they will have to play a tournament style game.
