Location: Columbus, Ohio
TV: Big Ten Network

For the first time
all season, we’ll see how Ohio State (15-8, 7-6) bounces back from getting their rear ends handed to them. After a 21-point shellacking at the hands of No. 2 Michigan Sunday afternoon, the Buckeyes have no choice but to pick themselves up and lock back in with another NCAA Tournament team — USC — heading to town.
The Trojans (18-6, 7-6) have mostly won the games they’ve needed to win to position themselves to make the NCAA Tournament. Currently a projected 10-seed, a few more wins would make the Trojans feel a bit more secure about their spot in the bracket.
USC is already out their leading scorer, Rodney Rice, and may also be without their second leading scorer, Chad Baker-Mazara, who is day-to-day with an MCL sprain in his knee.
Connor’s prediction: Ohio State 80, USC 77
