Ohio State men's basketball vs Michigan: Game preview and prediction

It was an up and down month of February for the No. 23 Ohio State men’s basketball team (19-9, 12-7), but on senior day, they have a chance to enter the postseason on a good note.

After a rough 48 hours in which the Buckeyes lost to the Maryland Terrapins (15-15, 7-12) and the Nebraska Cornhuskers (9-21, 3-16) and the Buckeyes were left with injuries to sophomore center Zed Key and graduate senior forward Kyle Young, the future was looking fairly bleak as the Buckeyes were quite literally limping into March.

However, on Thursday night, the Buckeyes dug deep down and Joey Brunk stepped up as Ohio State earned a much needed win over the Michigan State Spartans, 80-69.
