Ohio State Buckeyes
Ohio State beat Cincinnati by eight in its first game of the season. Since then, with the exception of last weekend’s loss at Minnesota, the Buckeyes have won every other game by at least nineteen points.

That nineteen-point win came against Kent State on a neutral court. OSU has beaten Villanova by twenty-five, North Carolina (on the road) by twenty-five, Penn State by thirty-two and plenty of other lesser teams by wider margins.
Kentucky in Vegas presents another level of opportunity, though, especially given both ‘Nova’s and Carolina’s struggles in the non-conference, which were both seemingly premeditated by OSU’s blow-outs.
The Buckeyes get right back on the saddle earlier this week, trouncing Southeast Missouri State by thirty-two. Chris Holtmann will have them ready for this one.
Kentucky Wildcats
Ohio State is just in Vegas for the game. Kentucky flew in a few days earlier to play the “Neon Hoops Showcase”, which it lost to Utah, 69–66.
Utah got the best of the first thirty-something minutes and had a ten-point lead down the stretch but Kentucky took it up a notch. It was more relentless with its defensive pressure and more concentrated on feeding the post. It tied the game with under a minute to go.
But Utah didn’t back down. It hit a tough shot and battened down the hatches on defense for a final stop. Kentucky couldn’t get it done in the half-court in the closing seconds.
That’s the story with Coach Cal’s program at times. The teams that have the most success are the ones that can play up-tempo for the longest and not waste possessions on offense.
This team ought to be pressing for forty minutes. Then again, that would be immensely difficult against a disciplined team like Ohio State. There’s real cause for concern that Kentucky will drop both games in Vegas now.
