Ohio State resumes its Big Ten basketball journey tonight in a rescheduled affair with the Penn State Nittany Lions. The game was originally scheduled for January 6 but had to be postponed because of COVID-19 protocols within the Penn State program.
The Buckeyes look to be an improving squad that has their eyes set on postseason play, but Penn State is also coming off two back-to-back wins and also looking like a bunch on the upswing that could give Ohio State some fits. It’s a Big Ten game, so nothing is a given, and you’d be wise to expect the unexpected.
Still, the body of work says OSU should win this thing and BetMGM Sportsbook agrees. It has Ohio State as an 8.5 point favorite just a few hours from tip-off if you are into that sort of thing.

We took time to preview the game and provide a prediction earlier, and we also let you know exactly how to find the game if you want your evening plans to consist of a little scarlet and gray basketball flair.
We agree with BetMGM that the Buckeyes should notch another victory, but it won’t be easy.
