No. 12 Michigan State looks to move back into a first-place tie in the Big Ten standings when it hosts Ohio State on Sunday afternoon.

Cincinnati will look to bounce back after seeing its eight-game winning streak come to an end when it hosts Wichita State on Sunday. The Bearcats shot 27 percent from the floor in the second half and missed their last 11 field goals as they fell 65-58 to ninth-ranked Houston last Sunday.
