Possibly the two best teams in the Big Ten go head-to-head Sunday afternoon. If you thought, before the season, that Michigan and Ohio State would emerge as those two teams, you’re one of a prescient few.
The Wolverines are ranked third in the AP Top 25, the Buckeyes are ranked fourth. The Wolverines are fourth in KenPom, the Buckeyes are sixth. The Wolverines are projected as a No. 1 seed in ESPN’s latest Bracketology, so are the Buckeyes. It’s the first time that Michigan and Ohio State have met in men’s basketball while both ranked in the Top 5.
