Ohio State Without Brice Sensabaugh Against Michigan State

Sensabaugh’s absence is a big one for Ohio State. The star forward leads the team in points per game (16.3) and ranks second in rebounds per game (5.4). He also leads Ohio State’s starters in 3-point shooting percentage (40.5%).
The Buckeyes were 4.5-point underdogs before the news about Sensabaugh’s availability broke, but they have since moved to a 6-point underdog at Caesars Sportsbook. They’ve got a tough matchup with Michigan State, who are the No. 4 seed in the Big Ten tournament. The Spartans went 11-8 in conference play while the Buckeyes went only 5-15.
Readers eager to get action on the Buckeyes at a discount can head to Caesars — the book is covering Ohioans’ first bet up to $1,500! Readers from other states — including those who think the market is too high on the Buckeyes — can get their first bet on the house up to $1,250.
The Buckeyes will need to score a win to keep their tournament hopes alive. Ohio State can improve its odds of earning a tournament selection significantly by getting to the Big Ten championship game, although they may struggle to get there without Brice Sensabaugh.
