Wisconsin

The Bucks take on #15 Wisconsin tonight, with OSU hoping for a much better outcome than their last game against the Badgers; a 65-43 loss in a very uncompetitive game. Wisconsin completely shut down OSU offensively. The Buckeyes do have one thing going for them in this game that they didn't have last time, Evan Turner.

Turner, the National Player of the Year favorite before getting injured in a game against Eastern Michigan on December 6th, has returned to action. He saw limited action in his first game back against Indiana, and was rusty in a game against Minnesota. His performance against #6 Purdue on Tuesday, however, showed why Turner was a favorite for POY. He had a career high in points leading the Bucks to a second half comeback over the Boilermakers.

In order for the Buckeyes to beat Wisconsin tonight, Turner is going to have to have another outstanding performance. Wisconsin is one of the best defensive teams in the country. ET's ability to penetrate and create opportunities for his teammates will be a necessity if the Bucks want to take down the #15 Badgers.

The Buckeyes have some momentum going with the win over Purdue. A win over Wisconsin would continue that momentum and give the Buckeyes two straight victories over top 15 opponents.
