- Sunday’s game will be the 194th all-time meeting between the two schools. Officially, Ohio State leads the series 102-84 taking into account the vacated games.
- The teams have split the last 26 meetings (13-13) and Ohio State has outscored Michigan by an average of less than 2.0 points per game in the contests.
- Earlier this year, John Mobley Jr. scored 22 points, connecting on four three-pointers, while Christoph Tilly added 17 points but Michigan pulled away late for a 74-62 victory at the Crisler Center on Jan. 23. Bruce Thornton scored 10 points and grabbed a team-high nine rebounds.
- The 62 points were a season low for the Buckeyes in the first meeting with Michigan. But the Buckeye defense also held Michigan to its second-lowest scoring output this year.
- Ohio State is playing on Super Bowl Sunday for the eighth time. The Buckeyes are 3-4 in the previous seven games and the NFC team has won in each of the three Buckeye victories.
- The Buckeyes are coming off a solid 82-62 victory at Maryland on Thursday evening in College Park. Christoph Tilly led the Buckeyes with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting with three rebounds. Bruce Thornton was 7-of-9 from the floor for 17 points as the Buckeyes shot 57.1 percent as a team, its second-best percentage in a Big Ten game this season. John Mobley Jr. made five more three-pointers in the win.
- Bruce Thornton is just 21 points away from reaching the Top 5 in scoring in program history. He topped the 1,900-point mark against Maryland and is seeking to catch Kelvin Ransey, who scored 1,934 points from 1977-80.
- Taison Chatman has scored in double figures in each of the last three games off the bench, the best stretch of his young career. He has made 7-of-10 three-point attempts in those three games and also matched a career-high with three assists in the win over Maryland.
- John Mobley Jr. is coming off his seventh game with at least five or more made three-pointers this season and his fourth in the last six. His seven games are second-most in the Big Ten behind Indiana’s Lamar Wilkerson with eight. The national leader is at nine.
- Michigan enters the game off a dominant 110-69 victory over Penn State on Thursday night in Ann Arbor. Yaxel Lendeborg leads five Wolverines in double figures at 14.3 points per game. The Wolverines are the fifth-best scoring offense in the country at over 91 points per game.
