On Tuesday, there are a handful of games on the college basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NCAA basketball picks for Tuesday!
College Basketball Matchup: Ohio State Buckeyes @ Illinois Fighting Illini
Date: Tuesday, January 10th, 9:00 ET
Location: Assembly Hall, Champaign, IL
College Basketball Odds: Ohio State -9.5
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN, ESPN3.com
If it looks like a sucker bet, and it smells like a sucker bet, it is probably a sucker bet. Sure, the Illini are a perfect 10-0 team at home this year. Go back and look at the schedule and tell us whether there is anyone that looks anything like the Buckeyes on the slate. Ohio State is the real deal, and there is a reason that it is nearly favored by double digits on the road against a team that really is solid in the Illini. Jared Sullinger should have his way, and once the Bucks take the crowd at Assembly Hall out of the equation, the game should turn into a runaway.
NCAA Basketball Pick: Ohio State -9.5
College Basketball Matchup: Georgia Bulldogs @ Florida Gators
Date: Tuesday, January 10th, 7:00 ET
Location: O’Connell Center, Gainesville, FL
College Basketball Odds: Florida -16
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN, ESPN3.com
The Bulldogs don’t often have much luck playing against the cream of the crop in the SEC, and we just don’t see there being that much of an exception in this game. Florida is the superior side for sure, and it should show in the form of a big time beating. UF is going to run up and down the floor, and UGA just doesn’t have the horses to keep up, even with a point spread like this one. The Gators should take it by 20+.
NCAA Basketball Pick: Florida -16
