Valparaiso at Ohio State

December 17, 2024
img8:00 PM Eastern

It's been feast or famine for Ohio State's offense as it has failed to hit the 60-point mark in two of its past three games. The Buckeyes went UNDER in a 91-53 loss to Auburn on Saturday as they shot just 35 percent and scored only 21 points in the first half. Two games earlier they lost 83-59 to Maryland while scoring 17 first-half points and shooting 38 percent for the game, including 4-for-19 from 3-point range, and that game also stayed UNDER. Valparaiso has gone UNDER four of seven and Ohio State is 4-0-1 UNDER its past five games after allowing more than 90 points its previous game. The Beacons shoot only 31.9 percent from beyond the arc and they are 7-2 UNDER their past nine December games. Take the UNDER.
