After delivering a blow to the chin of the Northwestern Wildcats on New Year’s Day, the Ohio State basketball team returns home to face the No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers on Thursday night. The matchup could have been even more significant had the Boilermakers not fallen to Rutgers in West Lafayette last time out.
Still, it’s a battle of two ranked teams, and two teams that have a shot at being at or near the top of the league as the season wears on. At 2-0 in the league, Ohio State is just one of three teams yet to lose a game in the conference (Michigan and Wisconsin are both 3-0) but will have a massive challenge going against the size, skill, and depth of this Purdue team in the Schott.
