#16 Ohio State at Minnesota: Thursday, January 27, 8 PM on ESPN

[ScriptOhio]

LINE: OHIO STATE -6.5, O/U 138.5

The top-tier teams in the Big Ten have all beaten Minnesota this season, although it’s to the Gophers’ credit that none of their five losses have come against subpar competition. If Ohio State wants to count itself among the top teams in the league, it should be able to take care of business Thursday, despite their potentially short-handed backcourt and recent road record at Minnesota.

Prediction: Ohio State 74, Minnesota 67

Fuck Dave Winfield.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Wait. They actually play tonight?!

 

[Bestbuck36]

Might be down to just Sotos at the PG tonight. Wheeler and Meetch are questionable and out. Nothing is ever easy for these guys.

 

[HenryMuto]

I am shocked Ohio State is favored by 6.5 pts right now. I would have thought maybe favored by 1 to 2 pts max. If I bet I would bet on Minnesota I think they probably win straight up hope I am wrong.

Fuck Dave Winfield.

Fucking Mister March.

Branham must've seen his snub also didnt make the top 15 newcomers list.

Meechie! My goodness!

 

[Bestbuck36]

Excellent toughness and rebounding for the Bucks. Gotta do it when the outside shots aren't falling,

 

[Bestbuck36]

this place is almost as bad as Assembly Hall to play in. We just can't make shots in this bitch

 

[Bestbuck36]

My goodness EJ!! Take over

 

[DaveyBoy]

2 timeouts left with 5.5 seconds on the clock.

Coach Holtmann mailing in the final seconds

 

[Bestbuck36]

Keep going inside and make hay. I agree with the commentator also that Ahrens needs to work an inside out game and get his shot going again moving into the shot instead of side to side.

Branham has been great but EJ is obviously the best player in the arena. Bullshit on the no votes for either at the half way point.

 

[scarletmike]

There's a 3 from Justin to start the half!

 

[scarletmike]

That's 1,000 for EJ.
