Minnesota started out their year on a nice 10-1 run. Next came a 1-4 stretch in January with a lone win over Rutgers. The Gophers would lose to Ohio State, Wisconsin, Purdue, Iowa and Nebraska before another win over Penn State. 

Matched up against the Nittany Lions on Saturday, the Gophers had a 36-36 tie at the break. Minnesota hit a 40-34 stretch in the second for a 76-70 victory. Leading scorer Eric Curry put up 22 points, and Payton Willis doubled with 18 points and 10 boards. 

Over on the Ohio State side, they’ve had a few choppy stretches this season but for the most part the Buckeyes have rebounded from adversity well. Ohio State is 2-1 in the last three with a loss to Rutgers between wins over Maryland and Michigan. 

In the Michigan game, the Buckeyes had a three-point edge by halftime. Ohio State was able to hit 35 more points in the second for a 68-57 win. EJ Liddell was the top scorer on the team with 28 points, five rebounds and 11-of-11 from the line. 

Ohio State is 4-1 ATS in the last five at home and 5-1 ATS in the last six overall. The under is 4-0 in the Buckeyes’ last four Tuesday games. 

Meanwhile, the Gophers are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 Tuesday games and 8-3 ATS in the last 11 road games. The over is 5-1 in Minnesota’s last six after an ATS win. 

PICK: I’m going to stay with Ohio State in this one. The Buckeyes have some pep back in their step after their last game, finally pulling off another big road win over a rival. Even in their recent losses, the Buckeyes have been competitive. Ohio State also won this matchup against the Gophers in a 75-64 road affair back on January 27. I like the Buckeyes to score well here also and power out a cover to keep their run going.
