Columbus- It wasn't a bad way to spend their free time, though with the way practice has been going, it sounds like the Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball players need their rest more than ever.
Tuesday night, Ohio State guard Jamar Butler said the team planned to gather in the dorm rooms of freshmen Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr., Daequan Cook and David Lighty to watch the Wisconsin-Michigan State game. Their reward was an end to the debate over whether the Buckeyes or Badgers deserve to be the No. 1 team country after Michigan State's 64-55 upset victory.
Tonight, the Buckeyes will make their case for No. 1 by hosting Penn State before Wisconsin visits on Sunday. It sounds as though the Buckeyes are getting some of their toughest tests in practice.
