Big Ten basketball is heating up just in time for the postseason, as the top teams in the nation and the conference are jockeying for position in a hotly-contested league. Making matters more interesting, those top teams — Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Ohio State — ended up scheduled in something of a round robin to close out the final couple weeks of the regular season. Continuing in that vein, the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes (18-6, 12-6) return to Columbus to face No. 9 Iowa (17-7, 11-6) at 4 p.m. ET on CBS.
As it stands, Ohio State is now third in the Big Ten standings, 2.
