Summary
- Ohio State aims for first NCAA Tournament in five years.
- Washington faces a challenging homestand against top teams.
- Both teams possess strengths in free-throw shooting.
Ohio State is intensifying its efforts to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in half a decade. The Buckeyes are set to compete against Washington in a significant Big Ten conference game scheduled for Sunday. This encounter is part of Ohio State's current West Coast road trip, which began with a victory over Oregon.
The Huskies are embarking on a demanding three-game homestand, facing tough Big Ten opponents. Following their matchup with Ohio State, Washington will host No. 2 Michigan and No. 12 Michigan State in the subsequent week, presenting a stern test for the team.
While Ohio State showcases a potent offense with high field goal and free-throw percentages, they can struggle from beyond the three-point arc. Washington, conversely, excels at ball security and free-throw shooting but exhibits weaknesses in overall field goal accuracy.
