@KeepTheJuice21 CBB Best Bets - 2/8

Fresh off a streak of 11 straight winning CBB picks which ended on Saturday Chuck is BACK to get the ball rolling again with two best bets on Tuesday's CBB slate.

South Carolina has been a big disappointment this year. They’ve had some success in the past few years and could have made an outside run at the SEC this year. I don’t think anyone expected the SEC to be quite the gauntlet that it is though. But in any case, South Carolina has been losing a lot in conference and they’ve been losing badly.

In their last 6 losses (all of which were in conference) the average margin of loss was 16 points. With the exception of Auburn, none of those teams was the quality that Kentucky has been lately. Even on the road, they’ve been playing top 5 basketball. They should have no problem covering the large spread.

The last meeting these two had was in Madison and Michigan State handed the Badgers a tough loss. But if you’ve watched much Wisconsin basketball this year, you know how important Tyler Wahl has been to the team. When he’s not playing its much easier to key in on Johnny Davis and eliminate the scoring threats. If that happens, and Brad Davision isn’t having a lights out shooting night, the Badgers are in trouble, and that was exactly the case in the last matchup.

The Badgers have shown toughness on the road with impressive wins over Purdue and Houston and I think they’ll bounce back tonight and show Michigan State what this team looks like at full strength.
