Sugar's "Utah can suck it" College Ball Pick of the Night
Michigan State (-6) at Purdue (WINNER!)
Michigan State is coming off a disappointing loss to Nebraska at home. Tom Izzo shouldered all of the blame for the Spartan's performance saying, "it's my job to get them ready to play." His team is sitting at 13th in the polls, but has lost 3 of their last 5, two of those coming at home. Purdue is coming off a big win at home against their in-state rival, Indiana. The Boilermakers will look to continue to roll at home tonight against Izzo's Spartans. The big question for State has been: What's the real status of starting point guard, Keith Appling? This week Tom Izzo told the media he was considering sitting Appling for the remainder of the season to preserve him for the tournament. Remarkably the next day Appling claimed to be 100% healthy, saying "we've done tried everything, and now I feel like it’s finally starting to kick in and I’m starting to feel a lot better.” The timing of his miraculous recovery is suspicious. Is Appling good to go or is he trying to be "Captain Tough Guy" and not miss the last 5 games of his Big Ten career? Regardless the pick here is MSU. Look for them to be ready to go tonight.
Sugar's Pick: Michigan State (-6)
Memphis (-8) at Rutgers (L)
This is pretty straight forward folks. Last time these two teams met it wasn't pretty if you were a Rutgers fan. 101-69 was what the scoreboard said after the abuse was over. Memphis is coming off an OT loss at UCONN and Rutgers is coming off a nice 102-54 loss in Louisville. Don't be that guy that bets on Rutgers to do something special, because it won't happen tonight, or anytime in the next 50 years probably. The pick here is Memphis, unless you're a member of the Utah Utes basketball team. If that's the case, well fuck you. When you're down by 3 with 1 second left why are you fouling? Give it the fuck up and go bang one of your wives. Then wake up and practice shooting free throws until your god damn arms fall off.
Sugar's Pick: Memphis (-8)
