Indiana at Ohio State
OSU -2.5
This is a great capping match-up. We have OSU at home with a solid home court advantage vs. a great Big Ten road team in Indiana.
The tangibles:
OSU is 4-5 ATS at home and Indiana is 4-2 ATS on the road. Indiana leads OSU in scoring, 3 pt. %, rebounds and FT %.
Indiana has two great players in Eric Gordon and DJ White.
The intangibles:
Indiana is coming off a tough double overtime win on the road vs. Illinois. This was a huge emotional win for Gordon. Before the season, he decided to not attend Illinois and go to Indiana. This will also be the third game in a week for Indiana.
OSU is playing back to back home games. They should be well rested after having the last five days off.
The decision: OSU.
I think Indiana is a great team. But I like OSU in this spot because of their defense, home record, and the fact that Indiana will be playing three games in a week. A close game until the end, but OSU will prevail by five.
2008 Big Ten basketball record ATS 22-9.
