The Ohio State men’s basketball team (13-18, 5-15) is officially facing a sudden death situation as they enter the Big Ten Tournament in Chicago this week.
In their first game of the week, the 13-seeded Buckeyes (14-18, 5-15) defeated the 12-seeded Wisconsin Badgers (17-14, 9-11) 65-57 to advance to the second round of the conference tournament against Iowa.
The first and only matchup of the season between these two teams had fireworks, but not between the players. Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann was ejected late in the first half for arguing a call.
