Why is Michigan only -2.5 against Buckeyes?

[KRIT]

Really thought this line would be higher. Anyone care to explain this line. Michigan beat Ohio St by 10 in Columbus this season. And Michigan is just way better, either that or OSU is just trash.

Line looks to fishy here. Ohio state is trash

[KRIT]

Greek offering Michigan -2 -115.

[No coincidences]

Both teams severely overrated -- but not as much as Wisconsin.

Big Ten is not that good.

Thad Matta has a way of getting his teams focused for the Big 10 tournament.

Ohio State has reached the finals in 5 straight years.
Michigan is soft, and Ohio State is filled with seniors. I expect a close game. Would pass on betting this game.

BIG 10 sucks

BIG 10 sucks

But what does that have to do with betting 1 big 10 team vs another?

[dawgs777]

Michigan got lucky today that's prob why. 1 point win to illi. don't know why so much love for Michigan? better team to place money on.

[THam12]

Ohio State plays well in situations like this...
Gritty team, with a toughness about them.
Michigan is a team that if they are hitting shots, they win 99% of the time, cause noone can shoot like they can.
But, if O State can dig in defensively and get some stops and buckets (Illini today) they will be in this game to the wire.

thx tham12 n plaza23

[RollinDo]

Don't question it...just like the line on Friday was too easy for Nebraska +6.
ISU way overrated and Michigan will play better for a full game to win...probably cover too.
Only thing is OSU typically plays well in B-10 tourney.

Holy guacamole, just woke up and this line is down to 1.5.

I lean with Ohio State. Michigan has no reason to win this thing and OSU wants to show people they can still hang with the big boys. I'm sure goatmilk will love this I'm going with Aaron Craft!!!!!!

Tham thoughts on under?

[TakingVegasMoney]

All over the wolverines. I've been watching ohio state all year.. They are such a bad team.

[LT Profits]

Locked into Ohio State +3 earlier.

I am an OSU Grad, and we hav been GOD awful to watch this year... But we always play very well in the BIG 10 Tourney. I would have felt more comfortable taking Michigan -4 or 5 now that I see Michigan -1.5 makes me want to take OSU, because that line is sooooo fishy. I will ride with OSU and drink beer, whatever.

Buckeyes are second in the country in three-point defense (28.5%), they won't let Michigan go 8-for-17 beyond the arc again like the regular season meeting. That was the difference in that game because Michigan only made 38.9% of its two-point shots gong 14-for-36!

And numbers aside, Ohio State probably has the most to gain of the four remaining teams by winning this tournament.

U do realize books do that to f with you. Michigan easy all dayyyyy

[boomer62]

The line should be Mich -1 based on power rating and opened at 11/2. What is the problem? Mich,Wisconsin,Ohio state and Mich state have all about the same power rating! That is why oh st. And Mich st opened as a pick. Can't go by how they played each other in the past.

Are questions not allowed on forums?

[dgrin001]

Going with the over on this one. Never know is this type of game.

[GT21Megatron]

[jjgold]

I think Ohio St better coached and a scrappy type team with more heart

That is my angle

[jtoler]

Are questions not allowed on forums?

Sure bro but this question is asked the most and it shouldnt be. By the way Mich. winning by 10 earlier is irrelavant.
