Wisconsin is coming into this game with a 25-8 record this season and they are 13-7 in the conference. They have been playing very well recently as they have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 games. They were dominant in their last win as well, beating UCLA 86-70 in their last game. They were not playing well to end the season as they lost 2 of their last 3 and 3 of their last 5 games to end the season, but now they have won 2 straight games in this tournament and are going to have a lot of confidence off of that win against UCLA, getting their rhythm back. This tournament is very important to Wisconsin with the way they ended the regular season as well. They are going up against a Michigan State team that is 27-5 this season and they are 17-3 in the conference. They have been on fire recently as they have won their last 8 straight games with a lot of quality wins in that span, but they also won the Big 10 title this season so this is not a tournament they need to go full force in. They won the only meeting with Wisconsin this season as well, winning at home 71-62, but Wisconsin is going to be coming into this game with revenge on their mind. Michigan State rebounds well, but their shooting has not been great this season and Wisconsin has the shooters to win this game with the way they have been hitting 3's all year. They are coming off of a game which they put up 86 points and were shooting great as well. Wisconsin needs this game more and will be the hungrier team here. Wisconsin will cover the spread in this game.
