CLICK HERE FOR THE BEST NCAA BASKETBALL CAPPERS ON THE PLANET & DAILY PLAYS!! \u2014><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Ohio State<\/strong>: 11-5 SU, 7-9 ATS The Ohio State Buckeyes will clash with the No. 4 undefeated Purdue Boilermakers on Tuesday at the Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, IN.<\/p>\n The Boilermakers knocked off Ohio State 67-61 the last time the two teams met back on Mar 15, 2009.<\/p>\n The road weary Buckeyes fell to Minnesota 73-62 on Saturday, despite the efforts of junior guard<\/p>\n Evan Turner, who put up 19 points while dragging down eight rebounds and seven assists in his second game back after missing more than a month with broken bones in his lower back. David Lighty had 15 points, while Dallas Lauderdale managed only two points and missed 3 of 5 free throws in the loss. The Buckeyes have been victims of a difficult schedule, having played three of their last four conference games away from Value City Arena, including some of the toughest venues in the league such as Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and now Purdue.<\/p>\n After celebrating their fourteenth straight win \u2013 matching the best start in school history, the Boilermakers joyous ride came to an abrupt end falling to No.14 Wisconsin 73-66 on Saturday. The 1993-94 Purdue squad also opened the season with 14 wins, and had its streak snapped in Madison. Ohio will need to get the ball to Turner, who even after being out over four weeks still leads the team with 17.5 and 5.6 assist per game. If they can get the ball in to his hands, magical things may happen. For the Boilermakers, now that the pressure of being undefeated no longer exist, they need to regroup and polish up their perimeter shooting and capitalize on shots from the charity stripe.<\/p>\n Ohio State vs Purdue Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n The odds makers have the Buckeyes +6-point underdogs in this one.<\/p>\n A Few Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Ohio State’s last 5 games
