Ohio State has had some big wins this seasons, including Michigan State on Jan. 15 and Michigan on Saturday. However, the Buckeyes are having a down year by their standards with a 14-10 record and 9-13 ATS. Marc Loving scored 17 points and Trevor Thompson added 13 points and grabbed 11 rebounds against the Wolverines, but their team shot just 40.4 percent and made only 4-of-19 from three-point range. Meanwhile, Rutgers won at Penn State 70-68 as an eight-point underdog with Corey Sanders pouring in 25 points and DeShawn Freeman adding 15 points and eight rebounds for the Scarlet Knights. Rutgers can matchup well with the Buckeyes defensively as it allows only a .397 shooting percentage compared to .407 for Ohio State, which is just 1-6 ATS its last seven games after a win and 1-4 ATS when following an ATS win this season. The points are valuable in this matchup, so take Rutgers.
