Indiana Hoosiers at Ohio State Buckeyes (-4.5, total points 153.5)| KenPom predicts: Ohio State by 5
Game Date/Time: Saturday, Mar. 7, at 5:30 p.m. ET Location: Columbus, OH TV: FOX Radio: 97.1 FM/ 971thefan.com
The Ohio State men’s basketball team (19-11, 11-8) will send off seniors Bruce Thornton, Christoph Tilly, and Brandon Noel Saturday night as they also try to snap a five-game losing streak against the Hoosiers (18-12, 9-10) that stretches back to the 2022-23 season.
Last year, Ohio State visited Bloomington on Indiana’s senior day on March 8, falling to the host Hoosiers, 66-60.
For the Buckeyes, today’s game is likely a “win and you won’t have to play in the Dayton First Four” game. For Indiana, it truly might be a “win and you’re in” game.
Bruce Thornton enters Saturday’s game 12 points away from passing Dennis Hopson to become Ohio State’s all-time leading scorer. Hopson, along with other Ohio State legends including Michael Redd, are expected to be in attendance. It is also Bruce Thornton bobblehead day at the Schottenstein Center for the first 2,000 fans in the building.
Connor’s prediction: Ohio State 77, Indiana 74
