Ohio State vs Evansville Prediction

I’m on Ohio State here. The problem for Evansville is that this team just has a history, regardless of who is on the roster, of struggling to take the step-up in competition. Ohio State smashed Youngstown State in their lone home game of the season, and I think they replicate that success against Evansville here. Give me Ohio State.
