Ohio State has won six of 10 after an 86-69 rout of Wisconsin as a small favorite. The offense is fifth in the 18-team Big Ten in points scored (81.2 per game), fourth in shooting (49%), and third from the free-throw line (78.3%). The defense is seventh in shooting allowed (43.2%). They've only been a double-digit underdog one other time this season, covering in a 74-62 loss at Michigan as a +16.5 dog. Michigan State has hit a rough patch, on a 2-3 SU/ATS run, losing to Minnesota (76-73) and Wisconsin (92-71) as favorites of 8.5 and 2 points. The Spartans are ninth from the charity stripe (75.8%), and the Buckeyes have more than enough to keep this close. Play Ohio State.
