OSH handicapper Christopher Cash previews AP top 25 televised College Basketball picks match-up between the Big Ten Conference No. 19 Michigan State at No. 10 Wisconsin . The 19th ranked Michigan State Spartans (25-5 SU, 9-12 ATS) face a must-win situation tonight at No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers Kohl Center to keep any hope of a sharing the Big Ten title. State is 10-4 in Big Ten play, with both Wisconsin and Indiana at 13-2 and there’s just four games left on the schedule. Not only does Michigan State need a win tonight at Wisconsin but would need a victory against Indiana on Sunday as well to grab a share the top College Basketball picks spot.
The Spartans arrive at the Kohl center tonight off Back-to-back home wins against Penn St. and Iowa after consecutive losses to ranked teams.
Michigan States coach Tom Izzo reached the 300-win mark Saturday winning 66-52 over Iowa. An historic achievement by the Spartan’s head man but State failed to cover for the bettors as 15 ½ point home favorites.
Michigan States Raymar Morgan was perfect from the field and line against Iowa hitting all six shots and four free-throws for a team-high 16 points.

Wisconsin has won four in a row and went 3-1 ATS in that stretch. Saturdays win was at Ohio St. 58-53 as 1 ½ point underdogs. The Badgers are averaging 12.8 turnovers per game and committed 15 in the win at Ohio State. Jason Bohannon had a team-high 16 points versus the Buckeye’s.

Christopher Cash continues one of the hottest NCAAB streaks of the season tonight.
“I see no end in-sight for this streak! Traditionally (for the last eight years) from now until I take a vacation at the end of June is my most profitable time of the year. I never thought I could top the first two months of college football for profits, 10 years prior that was the case, but I can’t argue with the numbers for eight years.
OSH members can get my 1 Month NCAAB package now, I added that option today! I reduced the price by 50%, due to the end of the season! The Arena Football League starts this Saturday. I will have a preview article up soon and look for my AFL picks and packages.
