After splitting two roads games last week, No. 18 Ohio State (16-6, 9-4) returned home on Tuesday night to face Minnesota (12-11, 3-11) hoping to start a new winning streak and keep their thin Big Ten title hopes alive. With their next three games — and six of their final eight — coming at home, Ohio State has a real chance to shake up the B1G standings down the stretch, if — and only if — they take care of business.
Last time out, the Buckeyes went up to Ann Arbor and dispatched their most hated rival 68-57.
