Ohio State will visit Phog Allen for a March Madness style game featuring two Top 15 teams - the undefeated No. 2 Buckeyes and No. 13 Kansas (6-2), two heavyweight programs with drastically different early seasons.
Kansas enters Saturday's game having already played (and lost) major early season games against Kentucky (New York City's Champions Classic) and Duke (Maui Invitational), while Ohio State hasn't left their home court through eight games, but boast two wins over Top 10 teams (Florida and Duke).
The biggest question surrounding this game is the status of Ohio State All-American Jared Sullinger, who sat out OSU's win over Texas Pan-American with back spasms. The 6-9 sophomore forward leads the Buckeyes in scoring (19.3) and rebounding (10.3). Sullinger was barely missed in the 64-35 rout of UTPA.
