Gonna be able to see how Ohio State is here momentarily. They're hosting Iowa in a few minutes on Fox.
They also host Indiana on Monday night at 6:00 PM with the game airing on FS1.

If we play like we did the last 25-seconds today, we’ll skunk Ohio State.

glad we have a nice break before our next game, our guys have a lot of minutes on their legs at this point in the season.
If we keep Liddell in check we win. They play today Monday so fatigue could be an issue for them

I did not realize that we were still tied with Purdue in the loss column. Would love to see RU knock them off tomorrow, as I would much rather share a conference title with Rutgers (who's never won one) than with Purdue (who has the most all-time) or Wisconsin (who has 19 vs. our 17). The fact that we are now tied with PU again (at least until tomorrow) and will be tied in the loss column with whoever might pick up any more wins this weekend has me PUMPED UP for this one!
Hoping our disappointingly-blue-and-gray crowds are completely clad in orange and have SFC rockin' when the Buckeyes come to town. We are perfectly capable of winning out, earning a 2-seed and playing in Milwaukee and Chicago. Let's go frickin' do it!

Every game from now until April is big. EVERY one.

^ Yep, no contender has an easy path … might as well be the Everyday Guys!
Top 3 (Purdue, Illinois, Wiscy) control their own destiny for at least a share of the conference championship. Rutgers and OSU need help, but being only 1 loss behind, definitely in it. Rutgers is smokin hot right now, having them in our rear view mirror is good. Rutgers@Purdue should be a heck of a game.
Of those, I would take our spot if given a choice. 3 of 4 at home, with only a road game to Ann Arbor.
We play hard these last four and this is ours. Imo.
We are OSU’s third game in six days. We get some time to prep and recharge. Let’s go.

Totally agree. I like that schedule for Illinois.

Fun fact, if we win this game it will be the 30th time in school history we have had a 20-win season. That is the most among Big Ten programs.
I'm really glad the team gets a long rest between now and the next game. Sleep, eat a lot, rest and get some good practices in. Come out guns blazing for Ohio State.
Always want a win, but bringing a couple of nice bottles of wine to an OSU fans place for a nice dinner and then watch the game. Only thing better than rib roast and some nice bottles of red are the same while watching a dejected fan of your opponent as Illini rise victoriously.
Hope your wine turns into Buckeye whine!
I think we match up well against O$U. I think Grandison Hawkins and RJ will be assigned Liddell.
