Northwestern (16-7, 7-5 Big Ten) travels to Columbus to play Ohio State (11-12, 3-9 Big Ten) at 7 p.m. on FS1. It's been ten games since the Buckeyes embarrassed the Wildcats at Welsh-Ryan Arena on New Year's Day, and things have changed quite a bit since then. Northwestern has held steady, posting a 6-4 record in the 10 games since and staying in the mix at the top of the conference. Ohio State has plummeted, going 1-9 in that same stretch. The Wildcats will look to capitalize on a reeling Ohio State team, exact vengeance, and keep building their tournament resume.

Wear em down! Go 🐱
 
OSU will start making their 3s eventually. Need more consistent offense movement

Ohio State retakes the lead by penetrating inside the arc and hitting some mid-range shots, then Northwestern comes down the floor and bricks a 3.
 
OU is playing bully ball. NU has trouble with thick players.

Collins got action for TV and MN, but they were afraid to go strong to hoop.
 
Despite some silly breakdowns in the early minutes of the game, our defense has been solid. Force turnovers and all.

On offense, our first possession was a masterpiece of movement. After that, there were too many instances of standing around watching the ball handler dribble and try to do something.

Another rock fight involving our Cats. Somehow someway we gotta get Berry to knock down some shots. That would really help tonight. Beran has only taken two shots. Let’s go guys. A big 20 minutes coming up. This is a huge game in the season.
 
Matt's got to get tough and get the rebounds, just cost NU 5 points.

Move on next play. Learn from it.
 
The blocked shot of Audige was so unnecessary. Why force that?
 
Cats are lucky. Outrebounded 2x. Poor 3 pt shooting by Ohio State. This won’t continue the rest of the game.
 
19-for-24 inside the arc, 1-for-13 outside the arc. Not our usual defense!

Good lord did Berry did that three to go down. The Nebraska game feels like months ago. Time for him to get hot!
 
We gotta stop Sueing. He’s been a tough matchup for us tonight. Shut him down and we can win this.
