Here are six of the best games the two teams have played.

March 12, 2010: No. 7 Ohio State 69, Michigan 68

No one expected this game to be close when it was tipped off, but it ended up being one of the more memorable finishes in Ohio State basketball history.

In the 2010 Big Ten Tournament, No. 1-seeded Ohio State faced No. 8 Michigan, and it looked like Michigan was going to pull off the huge upset until Evan Turner drilled a half-court three-pointer with two minutes left in the game. We were all Jon Diebler and Thad Matta at the end of this video.

March 29, 1992: No. 15 Michigan 75, No. 3 Ohio State 71

This has a greater impact because it was an Elite Eight game, and the Fab Five faced off against Jim Jackson.

Ohio State, led by Jackson, was a No. 1 seed in the 1992 NCAA Tournament. The Buckeyes won both regular-season matchups with No. 6 seed Michigan, which was led by the Fab Five. Those teams collided in an Elite Eight classic at Rupp Arena. Jackson scored 20 points, and Ohio State had a chance to win at the end of regulation, but a jumper from Chris Jent missed.

The Wolverines pulled away in overtime behind Chris Webber and Jalen Rose.

Feb. 5, 2013 – No. 3 Michigan 76, No. 10 Ohio State 74

This was almost a huge upset for the Buckeyes, as Michigan came into this one 20-2. Tim Hardaway scored 23 points, and Trey Burke added 16 to give the Wolverines a slight edge over Ohio State. Mitch McGary added 14 points and six rebounds off the bench.
