Two top-20 teams will run it back Thursday as Ohio State takes on Johnny Davis and a Wisconsin team that's on a five-game tear since losing to the Buckeyes last month.

The 6-foot-5 guard that Holtmann said has “emerged as a lottery pick” will be priority No. 1 for the Ohio State defense on Thursday. Davis had 24 of Wisconsin’s 55 points against the Buckeyes last time out, and he’s averaging 22.3 points and 7.4 rebounds on the season. Davis’ best game to date came in an upset win against then-No. 3 Purdue at home on Jan. 3, when the sophomore went off for 37 points and pulled down 14 boards.

“It does really begin and end with Davis and Davison for those guys,” Holtmann said. “They’ve had a tremendous season so far, for sure. It’s gonna be as big a challenge as we’ve played all year.”One Badger in particular who has stepped up amid Wisconsin’s five-game win streak is third-year big man Tyler Wahl, who is averaging 14.6 points per game on 65 percent shooting since the loss to the Buckeyes. In the 10 games before that, Wahl was averaging just eight points per game on 41.
