Big Ten hoops sees the Michigan State Spartans on the road to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes on Thursday, March 3rd.
The tip-off is set for 7:00 ET from Value City Arena.
The Buckeyes started off as a 4.5 point favorite and that number is now up to 6. The total has gone from 143.5 to 138.5.
Michigan State Spartans
Michigan State continues to struggle with consistency. From game to game, you never really know what you are going to get out of them.
The Spartans lost to the Michigan Wolverines on Tuesday by a score of 87-70. Overall, it was just a bad game for them in every way you could imagine.
Their last loss is so frustrating really because of the margin of defeat. It is one thing to lose to Michigan, but they should not have allowed a team like that to beat them by as much as they did.
Defensively, this group was simply not good enough in their last loss. For the most part, they let the Wolverines do whatever they wanted to do on the offensive side of things, which clearly cannot happen.
Ohio State Buckeyes
Although their overall season has been decent, Ohio State is really seeming to struggle and it could not be happening a worse time for them. They have better figure it out quick or they will be a quick exit once the tournament rolls around.
Right now, the Buckeyes have a record of 18-9. Even though that mark is pretty good, I just feel like they could be playing a lot better basketball given the kind of guys they have on their roster.
They dropped to the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Tuesday by a score of 78-70. Given the kind of team that their opponent is, that might have been their worst loss of the season.
Quite frankly, this crew should be embarrassed with how they looked in their last defeat. To let a team that is that bad walk into your building and handle their business is just uncappetbale for a program like Ohio State.

4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Michigan State ATS
After losing to a very bad team at Value City Arena, this is a good chance for Ohio State to get back on track at home when they host Sparty, but they certainly have to play a hell of a lot better than they did on Tuesday.
It is hard to have all that much confidence in either one of these teams right about now, but I actually feel better with the Spartans here. I am not saying they win the game, but I do like their chances of keeping it close against their opponent.
For me, the 6 points are just too much to lay with the Buckeyes.
Give me the Spartans catching the points on the road here.
