Ohio State vs. Notre Dame basketball preview, prediction, and odds

Ohio State basketball travels on the road for the first time to take on Notre Dame in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. We’ve got your preview.

How It’ll All Go Down

It’s hard to really know what to expect from either team in this one. Notre Dame played fairly well against Michigan State in a loss, but the Irish struggle with shooting the ball at a high level. Either way, expect this one to be a close throughout. Ohio State’s defense will be the answer as it clamps down in a lower scoring affair.

Final Score

Ohio State 71, Notre Dame 67
