Rotation # 890
Ohio State -11.5 over Penn State (loss)
Penn State sits in the basement of the BIG 10, coming off a tough loss at home to Wisconsin in a game where the Badgers had a 28-point road halftime lead. Ohio State is coming off an expected loss at Michigan, where they played pretty well for most of the way. The Nittany Lions have looked competitive in stretches and lost in stretches as they don’t have a good enough offense or defense to be consistent. Guards Bruce Thornton and John Mobley share the ball well and should set their team up to win by double-digits. The Buckeyes are a better program and can’t play around with a lesser-tier opponent. Take Ohio State.
