Georgia Tech vs Ohio State 2010 NCAA Bracket Predictions: The Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI, will be the sight for this Midwest Region battle between the 10th seeded Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets [+6½] taking on the sports betting odds favorite No.2 seeded, Ohio State Buckeyes [-6½]. This game is set to get underway at 2:25 PM ET (1:25 PM CT).
For the Yellow Jackets, their main defensive focus on today’s game will be trying to contain Big Ten player of the year and sports betting odds favorite for national honors, Evan Turner. One player that has some helpful insight to offer in this difficult task is former grade school teammate turned Georgia Tech guard, Iman Shumpert.
But for these Chicago natives, this game is all about bragging rights. “You don’t want to see that person at home and hear, ‘We beat you, we beat you,”’ Turner said. As far as their high school matchups, Turner recalls things very favorably. “I always remember me winning,” he said. “I might be biased that way.”
“It’s a lot of fun, especially on a stage like this and in Milwaukee, being so close,” added Shumpert. For those interested in betting on the OVER/UNDER, 2010 NCAA Bracket Predictions experts at SPORTSBOOK.com believe that Georgia Tech and Ohio State will very likely combine and score a grand total of 133½ points in today’s OVER/UNDER.
“Evan’s really aggressive going down the middle. A lot of people I’ve guarded this year are more on the wing,” Shumpert continued. “When you’re aggressive on the wing you can always force somebody into some help. It’s harder to do that when somebody’s going down the middle as much as Evan does. So it’s going to be a harder matchup.”
