Saturday is a big day for Ohio State athletic teams. The Buckeye bastketballers face Penn State in their conference opener at noon, the football team plays for the Big Ten title tonight in primetime, and the wrestling team is in position to capture a fourth-consecutive Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational tournament title.
Heading into the two-day event at the Las Vegas Convention Center, it looked like Ohio State faced an uphill battle just to place in the top 3, as Nebraska, Arizona State and N.C. State looked like they had better odds based on tournament pre-seeds.
