The game that everyone circled after Ohio State upset Michigan State is here.
The No. 14 Buckeyes and No. 3 Purdue are set to play what is arguably the Big Ten game of the year on Wednesday night in West Lafayette, Ind., with the top spot in the conference on the line.
Purdue has not lost since late November, when Matt Painter's team dropped back-to-back contests to Tennessee and Western Kentucky in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas. The Boilermakers have won 19 straight to put themselves in control of the Big Ten; however, a loss to the Buckeyes would put them into an even tie, with Ohio State holding the head-to-head advantage.
