What channel is the Ohio State basketball vs Illinois game on today? Here's how to watch, including time, TV schedule, live streaming info and game odds.

Coach Jake Diebler and the Ohio State men's hoops like they would extend their winning streak for much of the afternoon, but Illinois rallied late.

Ohio State hangs its hat on 37.4 percent three-point shooting (third in the Big Ten) and is led by the long-distance dynamic duo of Bruce Thornton and John Mobley Jr., each of whom has hit 40-plus threes on the season and is shooting over 40 percent from deep.

Don't look now, but the Ohio State basketball team might be getting hot at the right time. After losing three in a row by a combined total of five points, the Buckeyes have rattled off three wins in a row and done so in convincing fashion.
