College Basketball Betting – Sullinger Will Lead Buckeyes To Final Four

In one of the most interesting moves this past spring, Ohio State Buckeyes’ forward Jared Sullinger made the decision not to declare himself eligible for the NBA draft, preferring instead to return to the school that has helped him become a superstar for one more season of college ball. The Buckeyes were a major sportsbook reviews threat a year ago with Sullinger leading the way and William Buford in a supporting role as an excellent perimeter presence, and with both back at Ohio State it will be interesting to see what happens.

Gone from last year’s team are Jon Diebler, David Lighty, and Dallas Lauderdale. But no player was and will continue to be more important than Sullinger, as the team showed in their most recent sports betting win over the Florida Gators, prevailing 81-74 despite being outrebounded and outshot from beyond the arc. Despite their defensive liabilities and their inability to guard at the perimeter, the Buckeyes rode the strong play of both Sullinger and Buford to another impressive win. Although his own stat line wasn’t very impressive, Sullinger was able to open up a ton of space for his teammates, which didn’t let him down. Buford scored 20 points, while Aaron Craft picked up seven assists. With Sullinger leading the way and a strong supporting cast, the Buckeyes should be a legitimate threat even without the veterans they lost from last year’s team. Ohio State will make a pay head run to the Final Four this season, the only question is just how far they will go after that.
