Next: Ohio State

Tonight Michigan travels to Columbus for a rematch against 24th ranked Ohio State.  Michigan won the first meeting 64-51 on December 30th, ending a 15 game losing streak against the Buckeyes.

Despite the Wolverines success this year, this game will be a challenge - Ohio State will undoubtedly be looking for "payback" as well as wanting to move up in the standings. Michigan is tied for 3rd in the Big 10, one game out of first place while Ohio State is alone in fifth place one back of Michigan and Penn State.

The key for Michigan will be to try and limit Ohio State's main threats (Lavender, Prahalis and freshman Ashley Adams) while being patient on offense.  OSU showed in the December 30th game that if they frustrated they can become beatable.

Game time is 7:00pm and the game will be on the Big Ten network.
