The Buckeyes are also 11-1 on their home court in their last twelve games. They are likely to be a -5 to -5.5 home favorite here but be careful betting Ohio State on the spread as 2/3 of their games have been decided by less than 4 points.
The Hoosiers are 7-8 against Big Ten opponents. Indiana is 2-2 in games decided by 3 points or fewer.
The teams meet for the 10th time in conference play this season. The Hoosiers won 67-51 in the last matchup on Jan. 7. Jackson-Davis led the Hoosiers with 27 points, and Malaki Branham led the Buckeyes with 13 points.
The Buckeyes have been covering the spread at around a 60% rate of late but come off an outlier in which they lost at home to Iowa. Ohio State has not lost two straight games so far this season.
They are, however, just barely hovering around the Top 25 in the rankings. They are rated No. 18 among teams coming into this match, down two spots from No. 16.
Most certainly take Ohio State on the moneyline, expected to be around -200 to -250.
