Tonight, one of college’s most bitter rivalries is renewed, this time on the hardwood, with Ohio State vs Michigan at Crisler Center. It’s an extra special evening for the Maize and Blue as the 2012-13 National Player of the Year, Trey Burke, is honored during pre-game. So before the Buckeyes and Wolverines go at it in Ann Arbor, let’s review the odds and quickly preview this important mid-season Big Ten clash.
Ohio State vs Michigan Odds
*Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY SportsIt’s a massive night at the Crisler Center, and not just because the No. 3 Wolverines are looking to continue their dominant ways. Before tip-off, Michigan is set to retire Trey Burke’s No. 3 jersey, who is from Columbus, and won Ohio’s Mr. Basketball before committing to the Wolverines instead of his hometown program. The energy in Ann Arbor is going to be electric from the jump. On the court, Michigan (17-1) has been a juggernaut, playing with a level of balance that’s hard to find in college hoops. With the frontcourt trio of Yaxel Lendeborg, Morez Johnson Jr., and the 7’3″ Aday Mara, Michigan has become a defensive nightmare for the Big Ten and the rest of college basketball.
But don’t immediately count the Buckeyes out. Ohio State (13-5) is walking into enemy territory with one of the best scoring guards in the country, Bruce Thornton. He’s been on a tear this year, and alongside breakout sophomore guard John Mobley Jr., the Buckeyes have the kind of perimeter firepower that can make a game interesting if they get hot early. They’re a top-25 offensive team, so if they can find a way to navigate Michigan’s length inside, they might be able to hang around longer than people expect.
*Joseph Maiorana-Imagn ImagesThe oddsmakers have this game getting late early and aren’t giving the Buckeyes much of a chance for the upset. Michigan is once again a big double-digit favorite, with the spread currently sitting around 15.5 points. The total is set in the low 160s, suggesting we’re in for a high-paced, high-scoring rivalry game. Whether Ohio State can bridge that massive gap or if Michigan’s defense will simply be too much remains the big question for tonight. Check out the Ohio State vs Michigan odds below.

Look, throwing a few bucks on a game can definitely make things more exciting, but it only stays fun if you play it smart. A solid approach is less about “get rich quick” and more about keeping things under control. Here is how to keep your head in the game.
Set a Hard Budget: Only bet what you’re actually okay with losing. Before the season starts, pick a number that won’t mess with your rent or grocery money and stick to it—no exceptions. Do Your Homework: Don’t just bet with your gut or because you like a team’s jersey. Take five minutes to check the injury reports, recent stats, and how the teams have been playing lately. An informed bet is always a better bet. Know When to Walk: At the end of the day, this is supposed to be a hobby. If you find yourself getting stressed out or chasing losses to break even, it’s time to take a breather. Staying in control is the only way to make sure the game stays fun for the long haul.New users must be 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. Responsible Gaming Resources
