Both teams are struggling offensively as the rugged Big Ten season hits the first weekend of February.

Ohio State has failed to break the 60-point barrier in three of its last five games. The Buckeyes are averaging 63.3 points in their last three games.

Michigan is averaging 63.4 points during its last five games.

The Wolverines have held three of their last five foes to 64 or fewer points. Ohio State defends the 3-point shot well.

So I see defense carrying the day in this one.
