At first look 21.5 points might seem like a lot in a conference game but when you look into it, it should by higher. Take a look at what Ohio St has done at home in conference and what PSU has done on the road.


Ohio St BIG10 home games...


vs Northwestern W by 33
vs Nebraska W by 31
vs Indiana W by 17

Penn St BIG10 road games...

@ Michigan L by 18
@ Northwestern L by 12
@Nebraska L by 12
@ Indiana L by 19

Penn St is a true "Home" team and have shown absolutely nothing on the road to suggest they don't get ran out of the building in this game.

Not to mention the fact that PSU's best player and leading scorer just so happens to match-up against one the best defenders in the country tonight.

In a Big 10 game? Not sure you'll see that anytime soon.

They have a date with their arch-rival up next so the books want some folks to actually back the Buckeyes at home tonight...

Considering what OSU has done to lower end BIG10 teams....I don't see why not.

yeah but in order for lines that to hit you have to have everything go well from the start, and cant have an off night shooting..... and even if it is a 20 pt game with 3 minutes left, teams usually relax and don't try and score

I doubt the buckeyes are looking ahead to michigan in basketball, michigan is by far a much improved team, but OSU is gonna wax them in columbus. Plus this isn't football, the rivalry isn't really the same in basketball, if anything OSU and MSU are the rivals in b-ball.
Michigan might get OSU in crisler but i doubt it.
