Washington Huskies (-2.5) vs. Ohio State Buckeyes| over/under 152.5
Game Date/Time: Sunday, January 11 at 6:00 p.m. ET
Location: Seattle, Washington
TV: Peacock
Radio: 97.1 FM/ 971thefan.com
Ohio State (11-4,
3-2) will try to sweep their Pacific Northwest road trip this evening as they battle with the Washington Huskies (9-6, 1-3) in Seattle. A win for Ohio State would also make them 4-0 in Big Ten road games for the first time since the 2017-18 team, which won its first five Big Ten road games.
With Brandon Noel out for the foreseeable future with an unspecified foot injury, Gabe Cupps stepped up for Ohio State against Oregon, scoring nine points on 3-of-4 shooting in 23 minutes. Devin Royal registered his third double-double of the season, scoring 14 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in 36 minutes.
The Huskies could be without two of their four leading scorers on Sunday night, but their availability won’t be known until closer to game time. Senior guard Desmond Claude is currently away from the team due to a personal matter, and was not at practice on Saturday. Sophomore guard Wesley Yates has missed Washington’s last four games with a wrist injury, and will be a game-time decision on Sunday night. Washington coach Danny Sprinkle has not ruled either player out, but said that if Yates plays, his minutes will be limited.
Connor’s prediction: Ohio State 78, Washington 74
