Result: Loss

Today's winner is Ohio State over Michigan State.

Ohio State's 72-70 victory over Michigan State last Sunday marked their 4th win in the last 5 meetings over the Spartans. Since then, the Buckeyes have decimated both Purdue by 17 and Michigan by 22 points. Michigan State took down both Iowa and Wisconsin. Both are teams that they should have beaten with ease. As you all know, Ohio State has taken the last two Conference Championships. After winning today, they will be the first team to win three in a row in the event's 15-year history. Please remember that in the last meeting, MSU blew a first half 15-point lead. The play of Sullinger, Thomas, and Buford (47.8 PPG and 19.2 RPG) will be just too much for Michigan State here. Outside of Draymond Green, the Spartans don't have the personnel to match up with all three of the Buckeye's super-stars. Laying under a basket is a must-play on OSU. Take Ohio State. Thank you.
