Ohio State vs. Villanova: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

OK, Ohio State basketball fans. The Buckeyes have gotten some rest, added reinforcements from the M.A.S.H. unit, and proved most of the college basketball world wrong by beating the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers in their first-round NCAA Tournament matchup Friday.

Now, it’s on to the second round to take on No. 2 seed Villanova for a chance to punch a ticket to the Sweet 16. It won’t be an easy task, but if Ohio State can put forth the same defensive effort and timely buckets it did against Loyola-Chicago, there’s a chance to spring the upset.

If you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds, and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at Tipico Sportsbook.

To catch all the action, remember to tune in to CBS at 2:40 p.m EDT root for OSU to cap off a successful weekend.
