7:00 p.m. ET: Ohio St Buckeyes (9-2) at Indiana Hoosiers (7-3)

Spread: Indiana -3.5
Total: 137

The #13 Ohio State Buckeyes look to give Indiana its 5th straight loss to ranked opponents. Indiana’s last win again a ranked opponent was against the then-#8 Iowa Hawkeyes 67-65 on Feb. 7, 2021. The Indiana Hoosiers are averaging 75.7 points on 48% shooting and allowing 61.6 points on 35% shooting. The Ohio State Buckeyes are averaging 76.7 points on 49% shooting and allowing 68.5 points on 40% shooting. The Hoosiers defense is one of the best the Ohio State will have faced this season, as they had issues with every top-30 team it’s faced this season in Xavier, Seton Hall, Florida, and Duke. The Hoosiers are 9-0 at home this season and have always been an extremely difficult home team. The Hoosiers have the size to be able to handle Liddell inside. Indiana’s ability to defend the three-ball is also going to play a big factor. The Hoosiers are coming off a bad loss to Penn State and should be able to rebound at home. Take the Hoosiers to get the cover here.
