Ohio State and Northwestern, both seeking bounceback performances after Big Ten losses, will meet at the Schottenstein Center at 5:30 p.m. Sunday.
to Indiana on Thursday – its first loss in any game since Nov. 24 – will play host to a Northwestern team that has lost its last two league games before coming to Columbus to close out the week.
In his ninth year at the helm of the Wildcat program, head coach Chris Collins is off to an 8-4 start to the season, Northwestern’s best since 2018-19. The Wildcats have two wins over major conference foes, Maryland and Georgia, but have also lost to the likes of Providence and Wake Forest before suffering defeats in their past two Big Ten outings.
"They get up and down, I think they're one of the fastest-playing teams in the Big Ten right now," Ohio State senior forward Justin Ahrens said of the Wildcats Saturday."Just how fast they get a shot on goal, whether it's in transition or in the halfcourt. So that's something we're gonna have to be keyed in on in practice today is getting back and getting our defense set in transition ... they're a team that can get rolling pretty quick.
But around the same time last year, Northwestern’s first two-game skid of the season snowballed into a whopping 13-game losing streak through most of the Big Ten schedule that utterly submarined a group that started the year 6-1.Several Wildcat stats, both offensively and defensively, rank near the top of the conference through Northwestern’s first 12 games. But one category the Wildcats own all to themselves is assist-to-turnover ratio, in which their 2.13 mark is the best in the Big Ten.
