Michigan Basketball vs Ohio State: Prediction, Odds, TV Channel and Live Stream
Looking ahead to Michigan Basketball and Ohio State with a look at the odds, as well as a breakdown and a prediction, plus how to watch and stream.
After a bitterly disappointing loss to Iowa on Thursday night, one that has Michigan basketball on the brink of making the NIT, not the NCAA Tournament, the Wolverines are in Columbus on Sunday for another must-win game.
It seems like Michigan basketball has had quite a few must-win games lately, but this one really takes the cake. The Wolverines are 10-9 in the Big Ten Conference and 16-13 overall.
Even though Joe Lunardi still had Michigan among his last four teams with a bye for the first round, that means they are only 5-6 spots away from being out and of course, this is just one man’s projection.
So the Wolverines really need to win at Ohio State to feel good and probably need to win their first-round game at the Big Ten Tournament too. Remember, the Wolverines haven’t won back-to-back games in a while.
But unless they do that, today and in the Big Ten tourney, they are going to have to sweat out selection Sunday, and with that in mind, here’s a look at the odds and our prediciton for Michigan basketball and Ohio State, plus how to watch and stream.
Michigan Basketball vs Ohio State odds
According to WynnBET, Michigan basketball is a four-point underdog against Ohio State for this afternoon’s game. The over/under is set at 144. The money line is -190 for the Buckeyes and +160 for the Wolverines.
Michigan basketball vs Ohio State prediction
In the first matchup, E.J. Liddell dominated and scored 28 points, including some key buckets down the stretch. The Wolverines started strong but Eli Brooks, Hunter Dickinson, and DeVante Jones went a combined 16-of-44 from the field. Dickinson was 7-for-15 and will need to play much better in Columbus if the Wolverines are going to win.
While Ohio State was really solid defensively in that game, it has struggled to defend. The Buckeyes even lost to Nebraska at home recently and with some key players potentially out of the lineup such as Kyle Young and Zed Key, you have to feel like Michigan is going to have a solid shot of winning this game on the road.
But the Wolverines have been a Jekyll and Hyde sort of team. So they need to get that figured out. However, with an NCAA Tournament berth on the line, Michigan is sure to have an extra sense of desperation, and that along with great games from Hunter Dickinson and Eli Brooks will lead Michigan to a narrow 75-72 win over Ohio State.
