Here is a brief history of the UK/OSU basketball series.
Kentucky leads 10-8 but the Bucks lead the more important category NCAA Tournament wins 5-0.
The last time they played in March of 1987 Dennis Hopson scored 32 to lead OSU over Rex Chapman, Ed Davender and the Cats 91-77.
On March 16, 1968 The Bucks beat the Cats 82-81 to advance to the Final Four. Dave Sorenson and Bill Hosket led the way over Dan Issel. Sorenson scored on a last second in bounds play for the victory.
In 1962 Jerry Lucas and John Havlicek led the Bucks to a 74-64 win.
In 1961 Lucas and Larry Siegfried led the way over Roger Newman and Bill Lickert 87-74.
In the first Tourney meeting, held in NYC in 1945, the Buckeyes won 45-37.
My Prediction for this one? I think UK will give Sullinger fits underneath and Diebler will have problems shooting over the top of the Cats defenders. But when the dust settles, and Sullinger fouls out, OSU will come out on top with a hard fought 67-61 victory.
