How To Watch Indiana Basketball Against Ohio State Saturday

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana wraps up the regular season Saturday with a crucial matchup against Ohio State at Assembly Hall.

The Hoosiers and Buckeyes are on the NCAA Tournament bubble, and win would help solidify their cases. It's also an important game for Big Ten Tournament seeding, as the winner would earn the No. 9 seed and play Thursday, while the winner will be the No. 10 seed and play Wednesday.

Indiana is coming off a 1-1 trip to the Pacific Northwest, winning big at Washington and falling at Oregon. Ohio State won two in a row, most recently defeating Nebraska in double-overtime. The Hoosiers won the first matchup in overtime at Ohio State in January.

Saturday is likely the last home game for Indiana's seniors and coach Mike Woodson, unless they wind up hosting games in the NIT. They're looking to go out on a high note.

"These guys have been fighting, fighting and fighting," Woodson said. "We have a break here or there, we wouldn't be having this conversation. We are in the mix of a battle. We got a chance to get to the Big Ten Tournament and anything can happen when you get into tournament play. Right now, we are staring Ohio State in the face and we got to go figure that out."
