Ohio State at #12 Indiana (ESPN | 7 PM ET)
The Hoosiers had covered 4 of 5 before barely beating Northwestern on Saturday in the first game under interim head coach Dan Dakich. They trailed at halftime 37-35 before battling back for an 85-82 victory. Though very talented, the team's motivation is definitely under the microscope now without former head coach Kelvin Sampson around. As freshman Eric Gordon said: "He wasn't just like a coach. He was more like a father to us. We just miss him." EDGE: OHIO STATE
The Buckeyes have dropped 3 of 4 and are coming off a 58-53 home loss to Wisconsin on Sunday. That setback means it will be an uphill battle the rest of the way for the defending NCAA finalists, who got off to a promising 12-3 start but have gone 5-7 since then. EDGE: INDIANA
Indiana has covered 3 straight in the series despite losing twice SU. The Hoosiers had won 3 of the previous 4 meetings.
Ohio State is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games overall.
The OVER is 6-1 in Indiana's last 7 games overall.
The UNDER is 9-2 in Ohio State's last 11 games overall.
Southern Illinois at Bradley (ESPN2 | 7 PM ET)
Southern Illinois has won 4 straight games - the school's longest winning streak of the season. During the streak, the Salukis have made 40-of-83 shots from three-point range. EDGE: SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
The Salukis have averaged 10.7 fewer points on the road this season, which has translated into a disappointing 2-9 record away from home. EDGE: BRADLEY & UNDER
Southern Illinois has won 13 of the last 16 meetings with Bradley. All 3 of the losses have come on the road (2003, 2006, 2007). SLIGHT EDGE: SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
Including a 7-2 record since his return, the Braves are 13-5 in the 18 games they have played with their healthy star Daniel Ruffin in the lineup. However, Ruffin is listed as questionable due to a suspension and missed Saturday's game. EDGE: BRADLEY
Southern Illinois is 3-9 ATS in its last 12 road games.
Bradley is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games overall.
Bradley is 37-16-3 ATS in its last 56 home games.
The OVER is 8-1-1 in Bradley's last 10 Tuesday games.
#1 Tennessee at #18 Vanderbilt (ESPN | 9 PM ET)
Tonight's game features the SEC's Top 2 scoring and three-point shooting teams. Tennessee leads the SEC with 83.3 points and 9.19 three-pointers per game while Vanderbilt is second with 81.0 points and 8.93 triples. EDGE: OVER
Tennessee has outrebounded each of its last 9 opponents and owns a +6.3 rebounding advantage during those games. The Volunteers are averaging 16.9 offensive rebounds during that stretch. EDGE: TENNESSEE
Volunteers head coach Bruce Pearl is 15-6 SU against ranked teams while at Tennessee. EDGE: TENNESSEE
The Commodores' 17 home wins this season are the most by a Vanderbilt team since Memorial Gym was opened in 1952. Vanderbilt has won 17 straight home games and 30 of its last 31 games at home. BIG EDGE: VANDERBILT
Tennessee is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games overall.
