Michigan @ Ohio State

Current Records: Michigan 16-13; Ohio State 19-9

What to Know

After a four-game homestand, the Michigan Wolverines will be on the road. The Wolverines and the #23 Ohio State Buckeyes will face off in a Big Ten battle at 12:30 p.m. ET Sunday at Value City Arena. OSU should still be riding high after a win, while Michigan will be looking to get back in the win column.

This past Thursday, Michigan lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes at home by a decisive 82-71 margin. The losing side was boosted by center Hunter Dickinson, who posted a double-double on 21 points and 11 boards in addition to four blocks.

Meanwhile, the Michigan State Spartans typically have all the answers at home, but this past Thursday OSU proved too difficult a challenge. OSU had enough points to win and then some against the Spartans, taking their game 80-69. Ohio State's guard Malaki Branham was one of the most active players for the squad, picking up 22 points.

The Wolverines are expected to lose this next one by 4. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 4-2 against the spread when expected to lose.

Michigan is now 16-13 while the Buckeyes sit at 19-9. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Michigan is stumbling into the matchup with the 350th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 9.9 on average. OSUs have had an even harder time: they are 13th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.4 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
