Feb. 2 Plays

We’ve gone back to the basic after a rough Saturday and managed to find 15 Units to play tonight, including a Jimmer lock.

Michigan at Northwestern 125
Although the Wolverines are just 3-3 in their last six games, they’ve only allowed one opponent to score more than 60 points. Couple that with the fact that the under has hit in their last eight games and this one should be a low-scoring affair.
Both teams like to disrupt offenses by throwing out exotic defenses, and neither team has been overwhelming shooting the ball recently. In the last five games, Michigan is shooting 37 percent from the floor, while Northwestern in at 41 percent.
Take the under for 4 Units and pray for no overtime.

Michigan State at Wisconsin (-2) 123
Apparently Vegas must be suffering from amnesia or something, because this total is a little curious.
Yes, Sparty opened things up in a win over Northwestern, but MSU now must play at the Kohl Center, where Bucky controls the tempo.
The total in this matchup at East Lansing was 101, and don’t expect it to be much higher this time around. Both teams do have capabilities from long range, but both teams played tough defense and don’t gamble too much, which means offenses will be using a lot of the shot clock.
Also, Sparty’s schedule has been relatively easy up to this point, and they are ripe for the picking in an impossible environment. Tom Izzo has never defeated Bo Ryan at the Kohl Center, and it won’t start now.
Take the under for 4 Units and Wisconsin for a stone-cold, lead-pipe, Jimmer-third-game-bowling-under lock for 5 Units.

Kansas State (-4) at Nebraska
This has all the signs of a letdown game for Kansas State, after they played a gut-wrenching loss against Kansas on Saturday night in primetime.
The Cornhuskers play strong defense and could frustrate a streaky shooting Wildcats team.
If Nebraska is able to keep the Wildcats off of the offensive glass, they could pull the upset here. Take the Huskers for 2 Units.
