Davidson at Ohio State

One and two seeds went 1-2 ATS yesterday and I expect more of the same today. We were on all three of those games and I like three more of these matchups today. Ohio State is the first of three top seeds I'm fading on Friday. Ohio State enters the tourney off a loss to Iowa while Davidson won four straight and six of their last seven. I like that momentum. I also like the preformance of Davidson against common opponents this year. Both teams played St. Joe's twice and UT-Chattanooga once. Ohios State won all three of their games. They beat St. Joes by 9 and 7 and beat UTC by 17. Good stuff. But, Davidson didn't do that much worse. They beat UTC by 14, holding them to 53 points (Ohio State gave up 67 points). And, they split with Joe's. In their win over Joe's, they scored 100 points while Kentucky didn't manage more than 81 in their two wins. Point here being that Davidson is a pretty good team and shouldn't be getting 11 points. Thad Matta hasn't proven very successful in the NCAA's with a career 6-4 mark. And Ohio State is 1-10 ATS in neutral court games over the past three seasons. Look for Davidson's Brendan Winters to be a factor here as he put up 33 points against Chatanooga in the SWC tournament game. Look for Bucknell to lose but keep it close as they cover against THE Ohio State University. Three stars on Davidson.
