How to Watch Indiana Basketball Friday at Ohio State

Indiana and Ohio State enter Friday’s matchup in similar situations.

The Hoosiers have lost their last two games to Iowa and Illinois by a combined margin of minus-50. The Buckeyes have kept their games much closer, but they have lost three of their last four, with the only win coming in double overtime against a Minnesota team that is 0-6 in conference play.

That creates a comeback opportunity for Indiana and Ohio State. Indiana coach Mike Woodson is 4-1 against the Buckeyes, but Friday will be his first time facing first-year Ohio State coach Jake Diebler.

“We can’t let this snowball,” Woodson said after the Illinois loss. “Like I said, we’ve got a long way to go in this Big10. Do I think we’re good enough to win? Yeah, I do. I’ve just got to keep believing in it and keep pushing these guys in the right direction.”
