Another tough road test lies ahead for the Buckeyes this weekend, and this one just so happens to be against their archrival.
The action tips off at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, when No. 16 Ohio State will take on a Michigan team fresh off a 24-point blowout of No. 3 Purdue on Thursday night.
"I think probably they would say they're playing as well as they've played all year. ... I think all of us who watched them and saw some of their struggles here early on knew that they certainly have the potential to get it rolling," Chris Holtmann said Friday. "They're gifted, they're talented, Juwan (Howard) does a really good job. I think it's a really good team, there's a reason why they were top five or top six in the country in the preseason."
