Result:
LOSS

Northwestern looks to avenge a 65-56 loss at home to Ohio State on Jan. 6 when the Wildcats made only 21-of-67 shots from the field and shot 24 percent from three-point range. Bryant McIntosh was the only Northwestern player in double figures with 10 points in that game. The Wildcats have had five days off after an 82-58 blowout win over Minnesota on Thursday when they shot 53.7 percent and Tre Demps led his team with 23 points and McIntosh added 20 points. Ohio State is having one of its worst seasons in recent years as Thad Matta's young team struggles to gain consistency.  The Buckeyes lost their second in a row 79-68 at Wisconsin on Thursday and have lost four of their last six games. JaQuan Lyle scored 27 points against the Badgers, but Kam Williams was the only player in double figures with 10. Northwestern is 5-2-1 ATS its last eight road games and the underdog has covered the number five of the last six meetings. Take the points and play Northwestern.
