Behind Enemy Lines: Previewing Northwestern-Ohio State with Land-Grant Holy Land

Northwestern looks for its fourth straight win Sunday when it takes on Ohio State in Columbus. We talk with Luke Zimmermann of Ohio State’s SB Nation site, Land-Grant Holy Land, to preview the game.

Inside NU: An 0-4 start to conference play couldn't have been much fun, but the Buckeyes have now won two straight (Michigan State and at Nebraska). What's changed?

Luke Zimmermann: Desperation may be a stinky cologne but it can be a powerful motivator. With second best player Keita Bates-Diop lost for the season in the midst of the losing streak, Ohio State dug deep and played some of its best basketball of the season.
