ESPN’s matchup predictor curiously goes wrong way with predicting some of Ohio State basketball’s remaining games

The ESPN matchup predictor curiously goes in the wrong direction with some predictions with Ohio State basketball’s remaining schedule.

OK. We’re a few games further along in the Ohio State basketball season and it feels like another good time to check in with what the ESPN matchup predictor says for each and every remaining game on the Buckeyes’ schedule.

It’ll be an interesting look because OSU has won some games the worldwide leader in sports had going in the loss column previously. That means things should have adjusted a little with the metrics and mad-scientist algorithms that go into these sorts of things.

I mean, Ohio State is now in the top five of both major polls and are approaching the thin air of a potential one seed if things hold up the way they have over the last few weeks. Yeah, but, you’ll see that’s not exactly what happens.

But I digress and come back to the task at hand. Here is every remaining Ohio State basketball game predicted by ESPN’s matchup predictor, with a running end of the year conference and overall record. It is curious the way things moved to say the least.
