I can't confidently say this team can win on the road in the BiG vs teams with a pulse at the moment. Way too many question marks right now. I hope they get it figured out but.........

I really don't think that was the issue against Illinois though.

Agreed. The issues against Illinois were what they've been each time the Buckeyes have played a good team this season--the teams force someone other than DT to beat them, and the other guys haven't stepped up yet. Against Illinois, Buckeyes not named DT were a combined 11/39 (28.2%) from the field. That won't get it done on the road against the #11 team in the country.

I pretty much agree. The only bright spot is that Purdue similarly laid an egg its last time out, losing by 23 in East Lansing.

BiG road games....... man. Northwestern, Nebraska and PSU are the only road games that look somewhat like gimme's. The rest of the conference can burn your ass on any given night on the road.

I'd like to see us go more up tempo. One of our strengths Is athleticism on the wing. Craft and Shannon can push the rock. Amir can run the floor for a big , DT getting good looks In transition , Smith and Thompson In full attack mode to the basket. Idk why were walking the ball up the floor so much

• Where: Mackey Arena, West Lafayette, Ind.
• TV: ESPN
• Radio: WBNS-AM/FM (1460/97.1)
• Records: Ohio State 11-3 overall, 1-1 Big Ten; Purdue 7-7, 1-1

• Matchup to watch: Purdue 7-footer A.J. Hammons had 20 points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots against Michigan State on Saturday, and the game was tight before he picked up his third and fourth fouls early in the second half. His height and girth (280 pounds) near the basket could be problematic for Amir Williams and Evan Ravenel.

• Notable: Ohio State has not lost back-to-back games since an injured Evan Turner missed the first two games of the 2009-10 Big Ten season, at Wisconsin and Michigan. … The Buckeyes are 3-3 against Purdue at Mackey Arena but have lost three of their past four games there, including the most recent meeting, two years ago. … Purdue had 28 offensive rebounds in its first two Big Ten games. … Aaron Craft has not had a turnover in two games.

• Next: Michigan, 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Value City Arena
