Ohio State (11-4, 3-2) will try to sweep the Pacific Northwest road trip tonight when they take on the Washington Huskies (9-6, 1-3) in Seattle. A win for Ohio State would also move them to 4-0 in Big Ten road games for the first time since the 2017-18 team won its first five Big Ten road games.
Brandon Noel is out with a foot injury, but Gabe Kups stepped up for Ohio State against Oregon, scoring nine points on 3-for-4 shooting in 23 minutes. Devin Royal had 14 points and 10 rebounds in 36 minutes for his third double-double of the season.

The Huskies will likely lose two of their four leading scorers on Sunday night, but their availability won’t be known until closer to game time. Senior guard Desmond Crowder is currently away from the team for personal reasons and did not participate in Saturday’s practice. Sophomore guard Wesley Yates has missed Washington’s last four games with a wrist injury and will have a decision on Sunday night’s game. Washington head coach Danny Sprinkle didn’t rule out either player’s absence but said Yates’ minutes would be limited if he plays.
Conner’s prediction: Ohio State 78, Washington 74
