COLUMBUS, Ohio – • Ohio State heads to Indiana on Saturday for not only the final game of the regular season but for a game with a ton of postseason implications. Tip-off is set for 3:45 p.m. and the game will be televised nationally on CBS. Spero Dedes and Jim Spanarkle 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.

• This will be the 202nd all-time meeting between Ohio State and Indiana. Officially, the Hoosiers lead the series 110-84 after taking into account six vacated games (three wins by each team).
• The Hoosiers have won five of the last six meetings, including the game earlier this season in Columbus. The teams have split the last 16 meetings 8-8, with the Hoosiers holding a slight eight-point edge in the overall point total.
• The last Buckeye win in Bloomington was a 55-52 victory on Feb. 10, 2019. That was also the last time the teams met in Bloomington with the game televised on CBS.
• In the first meeting, Ohio State erased a 10-point deficit in the final four minutes of regulation to send the game to overtime and Bruce Thornton’s three-pointer at the buzzer rattled in and out as the Hoosiers escaped with a 77-76 victory. John Mobley Jr. led the Buckeyes with 22 points on five three-point makes.
• The winner on Saturday will not only pick up another Quad 1 win to help bolster its NCAA resume but will also claim the No. 9 seed in next week’s Big Ten Tournament. The No. 9 seed will open play on Thursday while the loser will get the No. 10 seed and begin its tournament on Wednesday evening.
• The Buckeyes are currently No. 36 in the NET rankings and No. 34 in Kenpom and squarely on the bubble.
• Ohio State is coming off a thrilling 116-114 double overtime victory over Nebraska on Tuesday evening. Four Buckeyes scored 20 or more points for the first time in program history and the 116 points were tied for the second-most in a game in program history. Bruce Thornton led the way with 29 points and nine assists.
• Thornton has averaged 23.3 points per game over the last three games and has 17 assists with just one turnover. He’s also 14-of-14 from the free throw line. This is the first time in his career in which he’s scored 20 or more points in three consecutive games.
• Micah Parrish has played in 164 career games. In those games, he’s scored 20 or more points just eight times and five of them have come in the last 12 games. He’s playing the best basketball of his career at just the right time.
