COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State enters the final week of the regular season looking to avenge of a pair of losses from earlier in the season. The first opportunity will be on Tuesday night when the Buckeyes host Nebraska on Senior Night. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. and the game will be exclusively streamed on Peacock. Paul Burmeister and Stephen Bardo will call the action.

The game can also be heard on the Ohio State Radio Network from Learfield. Paul Keels and former Buckeye captain Ron Stokes are on the call.

• The Buckeyes are 21-8 all-time against Nebraska and 17-6 since the Cornhuskers joined the Big Ten Conference prior to the 2011-12 season. Nebraska has won three of the last four meetings in the series.
• All-time, the Buckeyes are 11-2 against the Huskers in Columbus, including a win last season.
• In the first meeting, Micah Parrish scored a career-high 30 points and John Mobley Jr. made five three-pointers but Nebraska used a second half run to build a lead and hold on for a 79-71 victory on Super Bowl Sunday in Lincoln.
• Ohio State will honor players Ques Glover and Kalen Etzler as well as managers Nick Moore and Eric Oberholtzer, equipment manager Kyle Peters, student trainer Taylor Finnerty and social media manager Enrique Cabotage prior to the game.
• The Buckeyes are currently No. 36 in the NET rankings and No. 32 in Kenpom and squarely on the bubble.
• Ohio State is coming off a 1-1 west coast trip as it fell at UCLA on Bill Walton Day and then bounced back with an 87-82 win at USC last Wednesday night. The Buckeyes shot a Big Ten best 73.1 percent in the first half against the Trojans and notched their 10th game this season with 10 or more three-point makes.
• Thornton averaged 20.5 points on the west coast trip while going 12-of-12 from the free throw line and dishing out eight assists with zero turnovers.
• Thornton will be playing and starting his 100th career game on Tuesday. The only game he missed in his career was last year at home against Nebraska when he suffered a migraine.
• John Mobley Jr. is back to tied for the most three-pointers of any Big Ten player this season with 71 makes from deep.
• Evan Mahaffey has had at least one point, one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block in each of the last two games. He has 14 such games as a Buckeye and joins a list of pretty Buckeyes that have filled a stat sheet in a similar fashion.
• Nebraska is coming off a tough final possession loss to Minnesota at home on Saturday and is in a similar position to the Buckeyes on the bubble in the final week of the regular season.
