Northwestern-Ohio State preview: Can Tre Demps and Bryant McIntosh again lead Northwestern to victory?

EVANSTON -- Reports of Tre Demps' irrelevance have been greatly exaggerated. After enduring a terrible start to Big Ten play, Demps has scored 53 points and shot over 50 percent from the field in his last two games. Demps will have to continue his second-half resurgence with Northwestern playing at Ohio State on Tuesday night, a team that Northwestern has not beaten since 2009. While both teams are not in the discussion for NCAA Tournament play due to underwhelming Big Ten performances, the game should be close. Ultimately, Northwestern must have elite play from its guards if it wants to finally defeat Thad Motta's Ohio State team.
