This is a great bounce-back spot for the Buckeyes, as they will play much better in their first game in nearly a month at Value City Arena, where they have already beaten the likes of Wisconsin and #2 ranked Duke. Northwestern's record is a little inflated by playing one of the easiest nonconference schedules in the country, and the Wildcats will be too deflated on the road after blowing two crucial home games over the last few days.

Ohio State's offense is dangerous when firing on all cylinders, ranking 16th in KenPom efficiency while shooting well from every spot on the floor with the star Liddell leading the way. NWestern is not a good road team and I think they will struggle in this matchup on Sunday as I expect OHIO STATE to win and win big here.
