This will be the Buckeyes' sixth straight appearance in the semifinals. They beat Wisconsin in last season's title game and have won three of the last four Big Ten tournament championships. Ohio State finished a disappointing 5th by their standards in the Big 10, and have something to prove in this tourney. Michigan was lucky to get by Illinois a team that Ohio State beat both times during the season. Ohio State should do enough to win or at least keep it within the 3.5 points.
