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

Ohio State welcomes Morehead State to the Covelli Center for game three of the young season. We’ve got your preview and prediction.

How It’ll All Go Down

There are some concerns going into this game. Ohio State showed some real issues going against a zone defense and will have to deal with some athleticism down in the lane here. Still, OSU showed it could learn a bit in the second half and it’ll carry over to this one. Look for the Buckeyes to have a much better showing and a much improved offensive and shooting display. OSU will run away with this one in the second half.
