College Basketball Odds – Ohio State at Iowa
The 17-5 Ohio State Buckeyes face the 17-5 Iowa Hawkeyes in a Big Ten matchup this Tuesday night at 7 PM ET at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, in the best matchup of the night in College Basketball.
Ohio State won at Wisconsin 59-58 on Saturday giving the Badgers their fifth loss in six games. Buckeyes point guard Aaron Craft scored all seven of his points in the final 4 minutes of the matchup and dominated their rivals when it mattered.
“If anything it adds a little more bounce to your step. You never want to lose at home, and we’ve been particularly pretty good over our time here at Ohio State. Anytime you lose one here, it sits with you a little bit. But we know it’s going to be a different game,” Ohio State point guard Aaron Craft said. “They’re playing great basketball. They play differently at home, with the energy that they have going there. We have to go in with the right mindset.”
Iowa beat Illinois 81-74 on Saturday with Gabriel Olaseni setting a career record 15 points and 12 rebounds. “It would have been easy for us tonight, when they came back the way they did, to kind of fold up and go back home,” coach Fran McCaffery said. “If you want to be a team to contend in this league, you better be able to come back and perform the way we did.”
The Buckeyes are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games; the Hawkeyes are 26-9 ATS in their last 35 games following a S.U. win.
