O'Neil 3 Questions
Is this the last stand for the undefeated teams? There are only two left now, Ohio State and San Diego State, and neither have walks in the park in the upcoming week.
The Buckeyes host Purdue on Tuesday and travel to Northwestern on Saturday, both tricky games. Ohio State's rally against Illinois at Illinois is one of those glass half-full situations. All the credit in the world to the Buckeyes for fighting back against a good team on the road, but there is also no denying that, aside from an easy win against Iowa, Ohio State has looked vulnerable in five of its last six games.
The Aztecs play arguably their toughest game of their remaining 11 on Wednesday night at the Marriott Center where BYU loses approximately every solstice.
As the weeks stretch on and the wins accumulate, the pressure on both teams only intensifies. Will this be the week both succumb?
Places to Be This Week
Provo, Utah (San Diego St. at BYU)
Who would have ever predicted that SDSU-BYU would be a bigger deal than Duke-UNC and it's not even close. This is one of the most significant games of the season and the good news is there will be a second event when they return the game to San Diego on Feb. 26. Check out Jimmer Fredette and Kawhi Leonard to see two of the best at their respective positions.
