Ohio State will try to bounce back against Wisconsin on Wednesday night, when the two teams meet at Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
The Wisconsin Badgers are on top of the Big 10 Conference with an 11-3 record. They have won all three conference games this season and are currently on a four-game winning streak. The Badgers are coming off an 88-72 win over Nebraska. Senior forward Tyler Wahl led the team with 17 points and 8 rebounds. Wisconsin scores 75.8 points per game and is the best team in the nation when it comes to steals with 6.4 per game. The Badgers are 85th in the nation, shooting 46.9% from the field. Guard AJ Storr leads the team with 14.7 points per game, while Steven Crowder has 12.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are ninth in the Big 10 Conference with a 12-3 record and have split the first four conference games. Ohio State is coming off a 71-65 loss to Indiana after winning the previous four games. Senior forward Jamison Battle led the Buckeyes with 17 points in that game. Ohio State is ranked No. 100 in the nation, scoring 78.1 points per game. They are a solid defensive team, ranked 34th in the nation with 37.1 rebounds per game. They are a good three-point shooting team, converting on 37.1 of their three-point attempts, which ranks them 48th in the country. Sophomore guard Bruce Thornton leads the team with 16.9 points per game and 4.3 rebounds per game.
Ohio State has played over the total point line in 9 of the last 15 games and in 6 of the last 9 home games. Wisconsin has played over the total point line in 7 of 14 games this season and in one of three on the road.
Sophomore center Felix Okpara is doing a solid job for the Buckeyes. He is averaging 6.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game on 62.7% shooting from the field. In the loss to Indiana, Okpara had six points and season high 15 rebounds.
Forward Gus Yalden is out for Wisconsin while forwards Davin Royal and Owen Spencer will not suit up for Ohio State.
Wisconsin is the better team between the two, but Ohio State has won 8 of the 9 home games this season. Wisconsin has the momentum, winning the last four games, while the Buckeyes are coming off a tough loss in Indiana. Both teams play in fast pace and score over 75 points per game. Given the fact that the total point line is set at 140.5 and Ohio State has gone over the total point line in 6 of the 9 home games this season, this one should easily go over 140.5.
