Indiana vs. Ohio State Prediction and Pick

The Hoosiers won the first matchup against the Buckeyes 67-51 behind 27 points from Trayce Jackson-Davis, but they're a very different team away from Assembly Hall. Indiana is a pitiful 1-7 against the spread (ATS) on the road and 1-5 as an underdog.

They'll take on an Ohio State squad that, despite an inconsistent year, has been excellent at home. The Buckeyes are 11-1 in the friendly confines of The Schottenstein Center and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home matchups. E.J. Liddell, in particular, will be anxious to bounce back in this one after getting thoroughly outplayed by Jackson-Davis in the first contest and I think we see a strong Buckeyes performance.

Ohio State has the 10th-best adjusted offensive efficiency in the country and it'll be put to the test against Indiana's equally-strong 10th-best defensive efficiency. The Hoosiers shot just 2-for-15 from beyond the arc in the first game but still dominated by forcing 15 turnovers. Ohio State ranks in the top-75 in offensive turnover rate and should be more comfortable with the ball at home.

The Buckeyes shot just 8-for-27 from beyond the arc, well below their season average of 37.6%, and as long as their shooters regress they should pull away tonight. The Hoosiers are simply atrocious on the road, and until they show me different I can't trust them in these spots.

Give me the Buckeyes to improve to 12-1 at home and bounce back from their loss to Iowa.

Pick: Ohio State -6.5 (-110)
