Entering the semifinals of the B1G Tournament, the Ohio State Buckeyes had a tough game ahead. Of course, any opponent in a tournament semifinal brings a high level of difficulty, but there were other things working the Buckeyes had to overcome. The B1G Co-Champions were facing an Indiana Hoosiers team that beat them 86-66 on Dec. 12. Also, it was a “neutral site” game, which is debatable when a team is playing the Hoosiers in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Also, the Buckeyes had a lot on the line Saturday. Not only would a victory put the Scarlet & Gray in the B1G Tournament Final, it would put the Buckeyes into a position where they could overcome the Hoosiers as an NCAA No.
