Ohio State vs. Minnesota basketball preview, prediction, and odds

Ohio State is back in action on the hardwood tonight. Here’s our preview and prediction for the game against Minnesota on the road.

How It’ll All Go Down

I fear Ohio State’s lack of competitive play recently could be a problem in this one, especially on the road. We saw some tired legs from the long layoff before, and though being able to practice helps, there’s no substitute for live, game action. The Buckeyes have been a much different and less active team away from home this year. Minnesota, behind the home crowd at a tough environment in Williams Arena, will pull a white-knuckler.
