Huge road test tonight for the Buckeyes. If they can get out of the KFC Yum Center (lol) with a victory it would be huge for a young teams confidence. Taking down a big time program like Louisville, on the road in prime time would be huge for the program. 

The zone defense will have to be better tonight if we're going to win. Louisville plays relentless full court press defense so every point will be earned on offense. The defense has to tighten up the zone. Rebounding will also be a key. I don't think we can out rebound them but we need to be competitive on the boards. 

The X factor could be D'Angelo Russell going back to his hometown. If he's feeling it tonight then look out.
