Ohio State and Michigan will battle in Columbus and Ann Arbor this season. Bruce Thornton said the Buckeyes will win both games.

In an appearance at Big Ten Media Days on Thursday, Thornton shared his excitement to face the Wolverines twice this season. He said, with confidence, that Ohio State will win both matchups.

“We’re going to beat them twice before I leave out,” he said, per The Columbus Dispatch’s Adam Jardy. “I feel like there ain’t no better feeling than that. I feel like we’re very capable this year of making that happen. Why not us?”

THREE TOP 100 BUCKEYES. This is the season Ohio State men’s basketball returns to the NCAA Tournament. It has to be!

According to ESPN’s college basketball staff, three Buckeyes rank among the top 100 players in the sport: Bruce Thornton (No. 25), John Mobley Jr. (No. 82) and Devin Royal (No. 100).

No. 25 - Bruce Thornton​

Thornton is often too strong for opposing point guards to handle, which has helped him develop into a remarkably efficient offensive player. He shot a career-high 50.1% from the field and 42.4% from 3 in a high-usage role that resulted in him averaging 17.7 points and 4.6 assists last season. Thornton will now hope to lead the Buckeyes to their first NCAA tournament since he arrived in Columbus three seasons ago.
