Minnesota’s miracle run to the Big Ten Championship comes to an abrupt end Sunday. Ohio State is 12-1 in their last 13 games overall, and Evan Turner will not let this team lose right now. He put up 31 in a valiant effort against Illinois yesterday, a day after he hit a buzzer-beat to knock off the Wolverines. This is a completely different team with Turner, the National Player of the Year. Ohio State won their last meeting with Minnesota, 85-63. Though we aren’t expecting this game to be as lopsided, we do expect the Buckeyes to win and to cover this small spread. The Golden Gophers are 0-6 ATS in the third game of a 3-in-5 days situation. The Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The favorite is 8-0 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Take Ohio State and lay the points.
