Ohio State -3.5 4.4* NCAAB POD
Ohio State lost in OT the last time these two met and will be motivated on Senior day to get some revenge. They have also had over 3 extra days to prepare for Michigan State who was able to win their last game out after losing 4 of their previous 5 games. IN the first match up the real difference was the Spartans ability to make 11 of their 19 three point attempts which is shocking because Ohio State is 2nd in the nation in 3 point defense % allowing just 27.7%. I expect them to dominate the perimeter on the defensive end here today knowing that was the difference in the game when you consider they were +10 rebounds and +10 FTA. Ohio State on the flip side went 4-18 form three, but what they have to do at home is get to the FT line.

Ohio State's best offense is getting to the FT line and knocking down their free shots which is what I think they'll do here on Sunday. Ohio State is 16-3 at home +16.8ppg and would be 16-3 ATS at -3.5. They have been dominant in their last 3 home victories winning by 18, 16, and 17 getting revenge on Minnesota in an 18 point win. Michigan State relies on their 3 point game far too much to win on the road against Ohio State's caliber of defense. In the first match up Ohio State was -4 in turnover margin which should also be flipped. Aaron Craft is looking to become the Big Ten leader in steals and should make that happen today. Michigan State is -4.4 TO/Game in their last 5 games while Ohio State is +3. Ohio State is also 13-5 ATS in their last 18 home games vs. a team with a winning road record above .600. The Spartans are 8-2 on the road and have had a relatively easy conference schedule on the road losing at Michigan and Wisconsin. The other 8 are teams not going to the NCAA Tournament with the exception of maybe Iowa at 20-11 who the Spartans beat by only 2 in OT.
