An exciting weekend of college basketball continues Sunday when No. 18 Illinois plays host to Ohio State in a marquee Big Ten matchup on CBS. This will mark the only scheduled meeting between the Fighting Illini and the Buckeyes this season and will be a rematch of Illinois' 77-74 win over Ohio State in last season's conference tournament.

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.

Here are three more key numbers that explain just how the Illini were able to turn things around and escape with a win at home – and why they fell behind in the first place: 5.

Ohio State basketball had a problem finding the hoop in the second half and dropped a game to Illinois on the road Sunday.
