The Ohio State Buckeyes (13-8, 5-5 Big Ten) will try to extend their three-game winning streak when they face the No. 18 Illinois Fighting Illini (14-7, 6-5) on Sunday on CBS and Paramount+. Ohio State went through a rough patch during the opening portion of January, but it has responded with a critical three-game hot streak. The Buckeyes were able to maintain their winning ways with a convincing 83-64 win at Penn State on Thursday, despite entering that game as 3-point underdogs. Illinois has lost three of its last four games, falling to Nebraska in overtime earlier this week.
Tipoff is set for 1 p.m. ET at the State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois. The latest Illinois vs. Ohio State odds from SportsLine consensus list the Illini as 6.5-point favorites, while the over/under for total points scored is 156.
