The week that was
A lighter workload ultimately brought no relief to Ohio State's NCAA tournament hopes, which are all but on life support at this point.

Freshman JaQuan Lyle snapped out of a two-week slump, but the Buckeyes slipped closer to the lower reaches of the Big Ten standings as the Badgers climbed ahead.
The week ahead
It’s tough to pencil in wins for this season's Ohio State team, but the next two games are as close as they come.
