Matchup | Preview

Ohio State comes into this one at 21-3 on the year. The Buckeyes are 17-0 at home.

These two are the best rebounding teams in the Big Ten, so expect a physical battle.

This should be a good one!

Last year’s Michigan State team was loaded with talent, but they weren’t terribly coachable and the team chemistry was poor. The Spartans are clearly a more cohesive unit this season. Draymond Green is a great senior leader for this team. Green averages 15.2 points and 10.5 rebounds per game.

Green’s versatility makes him a tough guy to guard. Keith Appling has stepped up and given the team a very good point guard. Appling doesn’t have a great outside shot, but he excels at getting to the rim. Derrick Nix and Adreian Payne are both bruisers down low. Michigan State is first in the league in offensive rebounding.

The Spartans allow just 59.0 points per game. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

Jared Sullinger is the man in the middle for Ohio State. Sullinger has slimmed down a bit this year, but he is as strong as ever. Sullinger leads the team at 17.4 points and nine rebounds per contest. William Buford has been in a slump this year, but he had a breakout game against Purdue on Tuesday night. Buford carried the team with 29 big points.

This team needs Buford to continue to play with confidence if they are going to make a run to the Final Four. DeShaun Thomas is a guy who can fill it up in a hurry when he gets hot.

Aaron Craft is a very good point guard for this team, and he is on the Bob Cousy Award list as one of the nation’s best at his position. Ohio State shoots 49% from the floor, while they hold opponents to just 39.7%. The Buckeyes allow only 56.6 points per game.

Michigan State will probably stay within the number here.

I expect an Ohio State win, but Tom Izzo’s team should be well-prepared.

Prediction: Ohio State 68 Michigan State 61
