Ohio State basketball vs. Michigan State preview, prediction, odds

Ohio State hosts Michigan State on Sunday for yet another tough battle in the Big Ten. We’ve got your preview and prediction.

How It’ll All Go Down

Michigan State is a team still searching for itself. The Buckeyes get the Spartans at a good time but don’t expect a repeat of what we saw against Rutgers Thursday. Michigan State will play more inspired but it just doesn’t have enough offensive firepower figured out yet to stay with how efficient Ohio State has become on offense. Buckeyes win a fairly close one in workmanlike fashion.

Final Score

Ohio State 74, Michigan State 65
