Ohio State at Penn State, Wed. 3/4, 7:30 ET on Peacock

You must have been watching. I was listening to Stokes/Keeles and it was much more numbing than "fun". Great and satisfying win by the Bucks, but it was presented to me by the lowest energy broadcast team I've ever listened to.

Keeles is always lowkey. Old school and not the fanatic that some on air people are nowadays. Plus, they're used to doing OSU basketball games in recent years.

Indiana at Ohio State, Sat. 3/7, 5:30 ET on Fox

I get the sense that this is a "win and in" type of game for OSU. Some are saying the odds of OSU making the tourney right now are over 80%, and with a win here, it should be a lock. IU will be coming to try and win, though, as they are firmly on the bubble and really needs to win as well.
20 wins, 12 in the B1G…they’re in.

Here's what the magic Google AI machine says....

The Big Ten Conference record for the best team field goal percentage in a single game is 73.3%.
This historic performance was achieved by Michigan in a game against Western Michigan on December 8, 1984. The Wolverines made 44 of their 60 shots to secure the record.
Other notable high-efficiency performances in Big Ten men's basketball history include:
  • 71.4%: Ohio State vs. Wisconsin, 1970 (30 of 42 field goals).
  • 71.1%: Indiana vs. Minnesota, 1982 (32 of 45 field goals).
  • 70.2%: Purdue vs. Illinois, 1990 (40 of 57 field goals).

But I gotta say, 34/51 is literally 67%....but I don't math a ton and stuff....
Those numbers are actual shooting %, and don’t have the number increased for 3-point makes.

The Buckeyes were 66.7% in regular shooting %, but 82.4 when the value of made 3-pointers is factored in.

A few days ago the Celtics set an NBA record with an effective shooting % of 80.8%.

I believe tOSU’s number tonight is 82.4%, by going 34 of 51 with 16 makes from 3-point land. Might be a B1G record, probably not an NCAA one.
