Big Tuesday........

Expecting a dominant night on the hardwood tonight. Tuesday night's have traditionally been very good to me.

My first release is Wake Forest -5.5 over Boston College. Wake is an impressive 10-1 at home this year and 16-5 on the season. BC on the other hand is 12-11 on the year and under .500 on the road. Despite a valiant effort against a more talented Duke team on Saturday, I expect the Eagles to struggle tonight against a seasoned Deamon Deacon squad. Wake should win this one by double digits.

This second contest which tips of at 9pm est features two Big Ten powers. Michigan State -2 at home against Purdue. While Purdue sports an impressive 19-3 record on the year, the Spartans are a perfect 13-0 at home and are coming off a bad loss at Illinois. Izzo will have this Spartan team ready and the home crowd will serve as a huge edge as Michigan State looks to climb above the rest of the Big Ten conference with an impressive victory tonight.

Bonus/Opinion play. Vanderbilt -3 over Tennessee. Tennessee is loaded with talent but find themselves matched against a surprisingly good Vandy squad. Vandy is undefeated at home this year and Tennessee is more than capable of playing like a bunch of dopes- errant no look passes, forced shots, etc. As a result of not having seen enough of Vandy this year, I cannot put my official Propick seal of approval on this one but it falls under the "strong opinion" category.
