Indiana basketball (14-6, 5-4) hosts Ohio State (11-9, 3-6) on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind. Here's how to watch, with game time and TV information, three leading storylines, the latest on the point spread, the coaching matchup, series history and more.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Saturday's primetime matchup features two Big Ten teams on opposite paths OVER the last month.
Ohio State is desperate for a victory after losing six of its last seven games. The Buckeyes have never missed the NCAA Tournament under coach Chris Holtmann, but they're teetering toward the wrong side of the bubble now.
On the line for Indiana? A chance for its first five-game win streak in conference play since the 2015-16 season when the Hoosiers won the Big Ten under coach Tom Crean. Trayce Jackson-Davis put up freakish numbers in wins over Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan State and Minnesota, and he's not ready to stop any time soon.
"We've just got to keep grinding, and play together," Jackson-Davis said. "And that's what we're doing.''
