The Ohio State Buckeyes look for a win here to snap a four game losing streak. The Ohio State Buckeyes are averaging 76.8 points on 46 percent shooting and allowing 69.9 points on 42.8 percent shooting. EJ Liddell is averaging 16 points and 6.5 rebounds while Duane Washington Jr. is averaging 15.3 points and 2.8 rebounds. Justice Sueing is the third double-digit scorer and CJ Walker is grabbing 2.8 rebounds. The Ohio State Buckeyes are shooting 36.1 percent from beyond the arc and 77 percent from the free throw line. The Ohio State Buckeyes are allowing 34.4 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 32.8 rebounds per game.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers look for another win after beating Northwestern on Wednesday. The Minnesota Golden Gophers are averaging 73.2 points on 39.4 percent shooting and allowing 74 points on 44.4 percent shooting. Marcus Carr is averaging 19.6 points and 3.9 rebounds while Liam Robbins is averaging 11.7 points and 6.6 rebounds. Brandon Johnson is dishing 0.7 assists and Gabe Kalscheur is grabbing 2.9 rebounds.

Will update with trends once they’re released.  

The Minnesota Golden Gophers beat Ohio State in the only meeting this season and have actually won the last three meetings overall. The Ohio State Buckeyes are head and shoulders the better team here, but they’ve also lost four straight and are losing their last five games by an average of four points while allowing 48.9 percent shooting from the field. Ohio State should win, but this is a lot of points to pass up. Give me Minnesota and the boatload of free buckets.
