I'm still treading water at 13/13 after a 2/2 day Saturday
If you had action Saturday on ranked teams I hope you weren't on the underdogs -- as I was on Oklahoma at Bama. The favorites went 11/2 and two home dogs lost in the process. I hope that trend continues Monday night with at least one game.
I just got Ken Pom's #30, 9/5 Ohio State -5 1/2 at #120. 8/6 Minnesota
OSU has played the 12 toughest schedule while Minnesota's schedule is a #107. The only reason Minnesota's is that high is because they've now played 3 Big Ten teams, losing all three in routs. Their best win is a home 59-56 win over #77 North Texas.
Every one of OSU's 5 losses is to Ken Pom teams ranked #26 or better. Their best win is an 85-65 rout of AP #10 Kentucky on a neutral court.
Even against the tough schedule OSU is #41, averaging 81.3 ppg while giving up 69.8 ppg. Minnesota averages 14 less at 67.4 ppg and is #33 in giving up 65.1 ppg against the much weaker schedule.
The rest of the stats are in OSU's favor, despite the big disparity in schedule strength. OSU is a good shooting team except at the FT line (69.6%). They are #30 from 3 pt range (38.1%) and #56 from 2 pt range (56.2%). Minnesota is #298 from deep (30.1%), #120 from 2 pt range (53.3%) and a woeful #347 from the FT line (63.6%).
TO's are dead even at 15.3 but OSU is a better rebounding team against the much tougher schedule at 51.3% vs Minnesota's 49.2%.
OSU's defensive efficiency is much better at #34 compared to Minnesota's #108. OSU is particularly stellar at defending the 3 (#( in defensive 3 pt fg%).
OSU is coming off an 80-72 home loss to MSU and should be fired up to bounce back and get a much needed road win here. I don't think Minnesota can score enough to keep up with the buckeyes.
