Tuesday night’s college hoops schedule is posted at Cappers Info, and we are taking a close look at some of the best games on the slate and making our NCAA basketball picks for the duels ahead.

College Basketball Matchup: Kentucky Wildcats @ Georgia BulldogsDate: Tuesday, January 24th, 9:00 ETLocation: Stegeman Coliseum, Athens, GACollege Basketball Odds: Kentucky -12.5College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN, ESPN3.com

Tonight’s contest is Athens is the equivalent of the Super Bowl for the Bulldogs, who really would love to prove that they can play with some of the elite teams in the SEC. The problem is that they really have just gotten slaughtered by most of the best teams in this conference, and this is the biggest team of the bunch. Kentucky hasn’t been covering spreads this season, but a thin UGA team shouldn’t be sticking around with the power, size, strength, and just sheer athleticism that the Wildcats have to offer.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Kentucky -12.5

College Basketball Matchup: Michigan Wolverines @ Purdue BoilermakersDate: Tuesday, January 24th, 7:00 ETLocation: Mackey Arena, West Lafayette, INCollege Basketball Odds: Purdue -4.5College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN, ESPN3.com

The Boilers are the one team this year that really haven’t figured out how to hold serve at home, as they have already been knocked off by Wisconsin here at Mackey Arena. Michigan, just like all of the rest of these Big Ten teams, has been winning at home and losing on the road, but we think that that might just flip on Tuesday night. Purdue is an overrated team, and stopping Robbie Hummel generally stops the Boilermakers as a whole. If Michigan’s defense, which is quietly one of the better units in the conference, can slow down the long range shooting for Purdue, the Wolverines might be able to pull off the upset.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Michigan+4.5
