Ohio State matches up well with its quick, attacking guard play. The Buckeyes are 6-2 ATS following a loss and 10-2-1 ATS after a spread loss. Ohio State played a tougher schedule and is on a 9-5 straight up run. This team can play any style and ranks #24 in the nation in scoring (75.8 ppg) and assists, plus is #11 in shooting .486% from the field. VCU is 3-6 ATS the last nine games and is without senior leader Briante Weber, who tore his ACL January 31, their top assist man and fourth leading scorer. The Buckeyes have one of the best point guards in the nation in freshman D’Angelo Russell and will get the win - and the money. Play Ohio State.
