TSR 1/3/20 CBB Picks

TODAY’S GAMES

Game 1: Ohio State vs Wisconsin (7:00, FS1)

Nick: Ohio State--The Badgers are playing better basketball lately, but the Buckeyes are one of the elite teams in America. Without Ethan Happ, the Wessons may be too much for Wisconsin to handle.

Sam: Ohio State

Zach: Ohio State

Game 2: Nebraska vs Rutgers (8:00, BTN)

Nick: Nebraska--The Cornhuskers are probably the worst team in the Big Ten, but the home teams have won 15 of 16 league games for a reason. This league leaves it almost impossible to win on the road, and the Scarlet Knights don't have many road wins in the league as of late.

Sam: Rutgers-- When was the last time Rutgers was a road favorite?

Zach: Rutgers
