Ohio St is coming off a huge 44 pt win and now faces a tough Butler team. Butler has five returning starters from last year’s teams finds the Braves hosting the Buckeyes in a battle of two NCAA tourney teams last year. It’s safe to say Butler enjoys playing at Hinkle Fieldhouse where they are 55-5 SU since the 2005 season. They are also 11-4-1 ATS in battles with the Big 10, including a 54-51 cover-loss at Ohio State last season. This is Ohio St's first true road game of the season, and playing without leading scorer F Evan Turner out for at least two months with a spine injury, as OSU drops to 3-15 SU and ATS in road openers here this afternoon.

Washington has a weakness playing without big man Jon Brockman. His absence down low has allowed teams with size to have their way in the paint. That will be a huge problem against a physical Georgetown team with a lot of size and bench play. In addition, the time of this game will help the Hoyas.GTOwn gets the call in this early game for the Washington players as it starts at 11am local time out west.
