Ohio State vs. Penn State Odds & Betting Predictions - December 9, 2023

Round Robin 4/5

Ohio State loves to play at a snail’s pace. They’re 276th in adjusted tempo and their offense (15th in efficiency) has been lights out, but they’ve only faced 2 teams inside the top 95 teams. Alabama - track meet over - and A&M, which failed to hit 140 Expecting less possessions and both offenses to struggle a bit. Penn State defense funnels opponents inside the paint (51st in 3PA/FGA) to Wahab. PSU also 60th in 3pt D vs OSU’s red-hot 40.1% from 3 PSU likes to push the pace on offense but are 199tj in eFG% and near the 300 mark from perimeter. Best inside, Where OSU happens to also be best. Big 10 matchup, in a game where PSU is home off 5 consecutive losses screams a possible slow pace and grind game. For what it’s worth, ShotQuality has this at 138, KenPom at 152. I tend to lean toward the mid/low 140s
