Here are some piping hot #takes takes this glorious spring day: D'Angelo Russell is decidedly good at basketball, and Thad Matta, traditionally, works magic around this time of year.
I'm no bookmaker, but those must be the two main factors in Bovada listing Ohio State's at 7:2 odds to win the Big Ten tournament — second only to Wisconsin's 10:11 — right?
Here are the odds, in full:
| SCHOOL | ODDS |
|---|---|
| WISCONSIN | 10:11 |
| OHIO STATE | 7:2 |
| MICHIGAN STATE | 7:1 |
| IOWA | 9:1 |
| MARYLAND | 9:1 |
| PURDUE | 14:1 |
| ILLINOIS | 16:1 |
| INDIANA | 20:1 |
| MINNESOTA | 33:1 |
| MICHIGAN | 66:1 |
| NEBRASKA | 200:1 |
| NORTHWESTERN | 200:1 |
| PENN STATE | 200:1 |
| RUTGERS | 500:1 |
So, maybe, just maybe, Ohio State's men's basketball team isn't as bad as it looked like yesterday. We'll see what happens in the tournament.
