Two of the biggest brands in the Big Ten face off on the hardwood, with Purdue looking to keep its tournament resume and high ranking intact as the Boilermakers take on the Ohio State Buckeyes.

The conference schedule is still early, but the Boilermakers (15-4, 7-1) — currently ranked No. 11 in the AP Top 25 and No. 12 in the Coaches Poll — look poised to make a strong run into the postseason once March arrives. Ohio State (10-8, 2-5) is clinging to an overall winning record, but looking to notch a signature win in conference play to bolster its own hopes.
