Point Spread: even
Prediction: On
paper, this is a heck of a ball game. It may end up being one on the court as
well, but I think Michigan State is going to be much more fatigued than Ohio
State coming into this game. The Spartans had a dog fight with Iowa. It was a
physical game for the Spartans that really pushed them for the full 40 minutes.
Ohio State had a much easier time with Nebraska, and was able to cruise home to
a win. I think that plays a big role in this game. Ohio State is going to make
Michigan State work from the opening tip, and I think that will lead to some
serious fatigue in the second half. MSU is capable of winning this game, but I
think Ohio State will be fresher and has been playing some very good basketball
as of late. Ohio State 67, Michigan
State 58
