Ohio State basketball game tonight: Ohio State vs. Akron Line, Predictions, Odds, TV Channel, Live Stream for Basketball game Nov. 9th
By Ryan Stano
The Ohio State basketball team starts their season today! It’s been a few months for the Buckeyes to have to wait to get that bad taste out of their mouths from last March. Getting upset by a 15-seed in the NCAA Tournament is not what they had in mind.
Now they start the 2021-22 season tonight at home against Akron. It should be a game that will teach us a lot about how Chris Holtmann will set his rotation for the year. Justice Sueing will be available tonight and Kyle Young will be a game-time decision.
Ohio State basketball vs. Akron Odds: Line, Spread, Over/Under
The odds on WynnBET have the Buckeyes as 16.5 point favorites. Ohio State is one of the four best teams in the Big Ten, so this isn’t a surprise. Those odds are listed at -105. The over/under in this game is set at 144.5, which I think might be a bit high.
Ohio State basketball vs. Akron Prediction Tonight
Akron is not a team that should pose any sort of threat to the Buckeyes tonight. Holtmann did say this is the toughest opener Ohio State has had in his four years here. Even though he’s probably right, that doesn’t make this game actually hard to win.
I have the Buckeyes winning the game 89-55, which is just below 144.5. I think the under hits in this game because Ohio State has a lot of new players and they won’t quite hit on all cylinders quite yet. They will still be plenty good enough to win the game though.
What channel is the Ohio State basketball game on?
The Buckeye basketball game can be seen tonight on ESPN 2 at 6 pm.

The Ohio State game can be streamed live on Fubo TV.
This should be a fun game to watch. I love when college basketball starts, and it should be fun to watch this team play!
