Michigan Wolverines at Purdue Boilermakers
What a game this should be. Potentially the two best teams in the Big Ten. This game is in West Lafayette. The Boilermakers already lost a game at home. They need this one to keep themselves alive for a chance to win the Big Ten regular season title. It will be the freakish athleticism of Michigan against the disciplined, strong play of the Boilermakers. Good game, fun game, upset. The Boilermakers come away with a win in this game on Tuesday.
Betting Pick: Purdue +2 over Michigan
Final Score Prediction: Purdue 80-78 over Michigan
Wisconsin Badgers at Ohio State Buckeyes
Another Big Ten game. Wisconsin is playing good basketball right now. Ohio State has been playing fine, but a little snakebitten in not picking up some of the big wins they were close to. This is a pretty desperate time for the Buckeyes to pick up a big win. At home, we expect Ohio State to bring their best game to the table here. When push comes to shove, Ohio State comes away with a home win and cools the Badgers down a little on Tuesday.
Betting Pick: Ohio State +1.5 over Wisconsin
Final Score Prediction: Ohio State 80-79 over Wisconsin

Baylor Bears at Kansas State Wildcats
The Wildcats have been through a pretty emotional last few days as their head coach Jerome Tang was fired. But, in the end, the Wildcats’ play was the reason Tang got fired. Kansas State has not been very good at all. While Baylor has not lit up the scoreboard and grabbed wins all over the place, they are the better team in this game. Take the Bears to go on the road and win this game on Tuesday night out of the Big 12.
Betting Pick: Baylor -4.5 over Kansas State
Final Score Prediction: Baylor 82-75 over Kansas State
Minnesota Golden Gophers at Oregon Ducks
It is a Big Ten game with teams that are likely not going to the NCAA Tournament getting together. Dana Altman and his Ducks are coming off a win. Now Minnesota will head out west to take on Oregon. Many projected the Ducks to be strong all season, but they have failed to live up to expectations. Look for some of that talent to shine through in this game. Oregon wins this game, and wins it by a couple possessions at home.
Betting Pick: Oregon -2.5 over Minnesota
Final Score Prediction: Oregon 70-65 over Minnesota
Texas Tech Red Raiders at Arizona State Sun Devils
The Red Raiders are coming off a win over the Arizona Wildcats. What a win that was over the weekend. Now they remain on the road and will take on the Sun Devils. Look for a flat play situation where the Red Raiders struggle for most of the game. While they can come away with the win, the Sun Devils are going to keep this game in single digits on Tuesday night. Take the home Sun Devils to cover the spread in this Big 12 tilt.
Betting Pick: Arizona State +8.5 over Texas Tech
Final Score Prediction: Texas Tech 77-70 over Arizona State
