#807 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Nebraska +14 over Wisconsin, Sunday at 2 PM ET - This is a tough spot for the Badgers. They are off a physically and emotionally demanding game earlier this week here vs Purdue. The atmosphere was insane. We were courtside to witness the game and the court storming celebration afterwards. Wisconsin clinched the Big 10 Title with their 70-67 win over Purdue. They have at least a share of the title and if they win here they will win it outright. Even with that, going from playing Purdue to a Sunday afternoon affair with the last place team in the league and an atmosphere that will be nowhere close, we anticipate a letdown. While the Badgers are Big 10 Champs, they win close games and rarely roll over anyone. They have NOT won a game in the Big 10 this year by more than 14 points which is where this spread sits as we write this. When they faced the Huskers earlier this year UW won by 8 points in a game the Badgers shot an uncharacteristic 46% from beyond the arc (they average 31% in Big 10 play - dead last in the conference). The Huskers were in the midst of a 10 game losing streak during their first meeting but they are now playing, by far, their best basketball of the year. The offense is humming right now for this Nebraska team. They are off back to back road wins @ Penn State (won by 23) and @ Ohio State (won by 8). Prior to that they had a red hot Iowa team (who has won 8 of their last 9) on the ropes before falling by 10. In their last 2 games this offense put up 1.35 PPP vs a PSU defense that allows 0.97 PPP on the season & 1.24 PPP vs an Ohio State defense that allows 1.00 PPP on the year. We don't see Wisconsin being able to pull away here the way NU is playing offensively. The Badgers should win this one but not in blowout fashion. They are just 1-4 ATS this season as double digit favorites. Take the points.
