Last season and many seasons before that the Buckeye’s have lost to Wisconsin when playing at Wisconsin, this season however is different; the Buckeye’s defeated Wisconsin by 6 points at this past Saturday’s game. This is hopefully a look at what will happen when Ohio State welcomes Wisconsin at the end of the month. The season is drawing closer and closer to the end and the Buckeye’s have nothing but conference games left. They will be hosting Purdue tonight and Michigan State on Saturday. Last season, the Buckeye’s lost to Purdue when playing at Purdue but defeated Purdue when playing at home. The game is favored towards Ohio State winning seeing as how Purdue isn’t ranked this season and Ohio State is ranked number three. Students are excited for tonight’s game because it is a conference game and it’s a nice way to break up the week and celebrate the fact that midterms are over.
The Michigan State game is going to be one of the most populated and watched games for Buckeye fans according to students. Many students are saying that the game could go either way seeing as how both teams are doing so well this year. Students are already preparing for the game. Because the game is on a Saturday students are saying that there will be a lot more students at the game or watching the game at various locations around campus, because there is no class the next day. Some students have even said that it’s games like this that there should be tailgating similar to football games.
The tailgating they have said should be for the big games such as the Michigan State game, the past Michigan game, and the upcoming Wisconsin game. The Wisconsin game is something that all students are looking forward to. It’s going to be “a huge game” according to one student. There is a slight rivalry forming between Wisconsin and Ohio State, mainly because both teams do so well in sports and compete against each other. The basketball game is predicted to be a very close game. Many students have said that they don’t want a complete blowout win, but they also don’t want it to come down to the last second. The Wisconsin game at the end of the month is the last home game of the season, so students want to “end the home game season with a bang!”
