MSU-OSU Game

[tj5485]

Does MSU take the W at Home? Or does OSU come off the Road victory? I cant see the Spartans losing again at home but im not sure if they can cover. I see it being a close game.

[southpaw74]

Yeah 4.5 is tough...could go either way!

[suckerforparlays]

Im just gonna sit back and watch the game not getting any money outta me in this game even though State is my favorite team haha

[Shortstop]

Why was it postponed?

[KingKolzig]

easy win by sticking OSU +9.5 in a teaser with wisconsin -7.5.............EZ

It's a very interesting game. Ohio State has been a lot better since Turner came back although they still don't seem as good as they were in the beggining of the season. They are pretty much a one man show, I am not buying the supporting cast of Deibler and Buford. They haven't played all that well on the road this season and I think Lucas is finally getting his legs back under him. However, this is a huge game for the Bucks. If they want to win the Big Ten they have to get this game but it is going to be very tough. I had the line set at -6 and am a little shocked it is so low. Don't think Ohio State is on the same level as MSU.

msu isnt explosive enough to be a 6 pt favorite over a top 15 (talent wise) team in OSU. line should be -3.5

Top 15 talent wise? I have to disagree with that. Outside of Turner there isn't much talent to be desired. Just look what they did without him. They don't have a center and MSU could potentially kill them on the boards. I don't understand how MSU isn't explosive enough to be 6 point favs. I don't think MSU is one point better then OSU. I think if these two met on a nuetral floor -3 would be correct. OSU 4-5 on the road, MSU 12-1 at home.

[KingKolzig]

id say the majority of ppl would think not only is OSU top 15 talent, but also would be favored on a neutral floor..........they are also +1615 to MSU +1850 to win the NCAA tourny despite MSU's pedigree of final 4 runs

[GiveMeaBJ]

Well I guess we have different opinions then. I think that is crazy talk. OSU will be lucky to find its way to the Sweet 16.

projecting the single elimination NCAA is crazy, and top 4 seed can go to the final 4.......also its widely believed OSU has the best starting 5 in the nation. they are better than MSU i think..........and turner broke his frigin back. what a season changer. they're are a lot of "what if's" in sports but that was a major multigame whatif..........if that doesnt happen they are 23-4 (12-2) and a number one seed riding the favored national player of the year

. You can't be serious. They probably aren't even top 5, maybe even top 10.

honestly i heard it on ESPN from some analyst. they must have meant as a "team" as opposed to Pro prospects ect.........

[GiveMeaBJ]

Kansas
Kentucky
Nova
Syracuse
West Virginia
Gonzaga
Texas
MSU
Duke
Purdue

All have better starting 5's if we are talking top to bottom. No doubt Evan Turner is a top 5 player but how can you say the supporting cast of Deibler, Buford, and Lighty is better then these starting 5's?

[KingKolzig]

experience first off...........in a 10 minute subless game id take OSU over everyone you list except UK, KU, NOVA, and a toss up with Syracuse

Crazy talk.

West Virginia- Butler, Jones, Bryant, Ebanks, Smith
Gonzaga- Bouldin, Harris, Gray, Sacre, Goodson
Texas- James, Pittman, Bradley, Johnson, Balbay
MSU- Lucas, Morgan, Summers, Green, Allen
Duke- Smith, Singler, Scheyer, Zoubek, Plumlee
Purdue- Kramer, Moore, Hummel, Johnson, Grant


Ohio State- Turner, Deibler, Lighty, Buford, Lauderdale

Tell me why you put Ohio State over any of those when we are talking starting 5 TOP TO BOTTOM.

honestly cause the ESPN man said so

[KingKolzig]

I just like NCAA BB cause its by far the greatest sport in the world to bet on and watch

[GiveMeaBJ]

Don't listen to those clowns on ESPN. The only one who has a clue is Bob Knight.

[KingKolzig]

gottlieb does i think.........bilas a bit.......they do see suprised when a 4 pt road dog wins the game. like they too were mesmerized by the line like it was fact

Gottlieb is an idiot for the most part. Bilas and Knight are the best analysts by far on ESPN.

I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone said Ohio State has the best starting 5 in the nation. Like the guy has been trying to say above, Turner is a premier talent, but he's the only premier talent in that starting lineup.

Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse, Purdue, Duke and West Virginia for sure have better starting 5's.

over, good day

[tj5485]

soooooo does that mean everyone likes MSU? lol

[ngates815]
