Buckeyes are 9 point favorites

That ain’t much, I wonder if the road dog is a good bet here.

Yeah, I was expecting a 12 or 13pt spread here.

 

[bac2therac]

OSU beat Minnesota by 10 at home and do have a loss at Penn State. Overall they would get selected for the ncaa today but a deeper dive shows 10 of their 11 wins are to Q3 and 4. They have a win over Alabama that is really solid. Beat a bad UCLA by 7 on a neutral court and a very mediocre WVU by 3 in OT also on a neutral court.

Ohio State 74 Rutgers 62

Do we have an RU player availability report

Yeah, I feel like OSU's "floor" is probably just as low as ours (or maybe slightly higher), but their ceiling is much higher when they're "on." Thornton and Gayle are a terrific backcourt duo; Battle provides a solid shooting punch as a 2nd/3rd option; and Okpara/Key complement each other as the 5.

I think they are still in the pattern of problems (can't make bunnies, can't hit 3's, can't rebound, can't find a floor general(s)) and it will result in a 20-point loss.

Maybe the adversity and pressure dialing up with BIG play will start to mold this team into the one we saw against Seton Hall though.

It will happen, but not tonight. 77-53 OSU

[fatsam98]

If we do win I hope it's on a blown call

 

[RUtrumpet92]

10 pt loss after an encouraging first half, much like the Mississippi State game turned out.

 

[darkcheck]

Mag, JMike, Austin and Ogbole all questionable.

Ohio St 77-RU 54

 

[mildone]

I predict that OSU plays the entire game with 6 players on the court. But the refs fail to see it and it’s not reviewable, so we lose by 69 points.

 

[REDRICH65]

No way we win this game.

 

[Big East Beast]

Rutgers 76

I got the score right, but once again blinded by my Scarlet glasses. It is my best and worst trait.
