HOW IT PLAYS OUT
LINE: INDIANA -3.5, O/U: 145.5
Ohio State hasn’t won a game at Assembly hall in four years, and given how well Jackson-Davis and company have been playing in recent weeks, it will be tough for the Buckeyes to break that streak on Saturday.Prediction: Indiana 72, Ohio State 67
What to Expect: Ohio State at Indiana
Indiana will seek its fifth straight victory when it hosts Ohio State on Saturday night at Assembly Hall.

WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO
The KenPom projection is Indiana by three with a 61 percent chance of victory. The Sagarin numbers like the Hoosiers by 3.5 points.The Sensabaugh matchup is of the most concern for Indiana. The Hoosiers have struggled to contain wing scorers with the most recent example being Jamison Battle on Wednesday in Minneapolis.
Indiana is playing with a lot of confidence and Trayce Jackson-Davis has been playing as well as anyone in the country. He’ll be a tough cover for Ohio State, particularly with Key less than 100 percent healthy. With a road trip to Maryland (unbeaten at home in league play) looming followed by home games against Purdue and Rutgers, the Hoosiers would be well served to take care of business on Saturday night and keep momentum rolling.
