GameThread: #4 Wisconsin vs. #2 Ohio State

Ohio State's slow march through the grind that was the Big Ten in 2012-2013 comes to an end this afternoon. Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo, who's team the Buckeyes summarily dismissed from the Big Ten tournament yesterday evening, said in his post game press conference, "at this point, I'd rather play the Lakers than the teams we've been playing." While it's not unlikely Thad Matta and the Bucks feel similarly given the degree of difficulty in the league this year, they've got one more contest to go before they can move on to what's next.

On the opposing bench will bo old nemesis Bo Ryan and the Wisconsin Badgers. While Ohio State fans have been collectively frustrated along with much of the rest of the country about Indiana coach Tom Crean's behavior in the last month plus, Ryan still likely holds a special place near and dear the hearts of Ohio State fans when it comes to harboring distaste for an opposing authority figure. The Buckeyes will get another chance to bounce Bo and in the process claim Ohio State's third Big Ten tourney title in four seasons.
