LIVE: No. 3 Purdue basketball, Zach Edey defeat Ohio State, snap skid

No. 3 Purdue basketball tries to right itself when Ohio State visits for a Big Ten game.

The Boilermakers (23-4, 12-4) remain atop the conference standings, but they have lost 3 of their past 4. Zach Edey has continued his strong play, but Purdue has not had a consistent second scorer.

The Buckeyes (11-15, 3-12) are 13th in the league and trying to stop a 7-game losing streak. Freshman Brice Sensabaugh (16.6 points, 42% 3-pointers, 5.7 rebounds in conference play) leads OSU. ESPN's matchup predictor gives Purdue an 82.7% chance of winning.

Sam King and Gregg Doyel will have updates, and so will we. Please remember to refresh.
