The men's basketball will attempt to continue its improbable run to the 2016 NCAA Tournament tonight as it hosts No. 6 Michigan State at 9:00 p.m. on ESPN.
The Buckeyes will be underdogs, but it could be possible no such thing exists in the Matta–Izzo rivalry.

Whoever keeps scheduling Michigan State late in the season: Stop. Playing Sparty is like fist-fighting a crackhead who stole something—dangerous and never worth it.
