News On The Horizon 12/13/2020

12/13 Big Ten Preview: Conference Play Begins--BT Powerhouse

The Rest:

-Oakland Golden Grizzlies at No. 4 Michigan State Spartans

  • Time/TV: 12:00 PM ET (FS1)
  • KenPom Spread: Michigan State by 25

The Spartans were supposed to have a marquee matchup this week against Virginia on the road on Wednesday. But after a COVID-19 cancellation for the game against the Cavaliers, this will be Michigan State’s lone game of the week. And this one doesn’t project to be all that close. Oakland played Michigan tough a few weeks ago, but has otherwise been steamrolled by legitimate competition. Expect the Spartans to win big.

  • Pick Against The Spread: Michigan State

-Cleveland State Vikings at No. 22 Ohio State Buckeyes

  • Time/TV: 4:00 PM ET (BTN)
  • KenPom Spread: Ohio State by 22

After an incredible comeback on the road on Tuesday against Notre Dame to steal a win against the Irish, Ohio State enters this game at 4-0 against an underwhelming Cleveland State team. However, the Buckeyes will have to do it without EJ Liddell after he came down with a non-COVID 19 illness. As such, this one might be a little closer than expected. Eyes will also be on whether Seth Towns finally plays for Ohio State.

  • Pick Against The Spread: Cleveland State
