Ohio State and Indiana are trending in opposite directions.
The Buckeyes have lost six of their last seven as they’ve sunk to 12th place in the Big Ten. They now sit just two games above .500. Indiana suffered a three-game skid to start January but has subsequently turned things around to rattle off four straight wins as Trayce Jackson-Davis has seemingly taken his game to new heights.
On the heels of an underwhelming performance in Tuesday’s nine-point loss at Illinois, the Buckeyes have the misfortune of following it up with another road trip, and this time to an arena in which they haven’t won since the 2018-19 season.
