Ohio State vs Evansville Prediction

I’m here in the state of Ohio. The problem for Evansville is that this team simply has a history, no matter who is on the roster, of struggling to move up in the league. Ohio State defeated Youngstown State in their only home game of the season, and I think they repeat that success against Evansville here. Give me the state of Ohio.
