Wisconsin has risen back to relevance in the Big Ten this season after a short stint in mediocrity and the Badgers are another team in the Big Ten that's a safe bet to make the NCAA tournament as an at-large. In their conference tournament opener Wisconsin got past a Nebraska group that finally ran out of gas as the Badgers outlasted the Huskers by a final of 66-62. Wisconsin plays in a lot of competitive games given their grind it out style as the Badgers average 69.6 points per game while giving up 61.2.
Wisky has won 6 of 7 games and playing well right now. In their last meeting vs Mich St the Badgers played poorly in all phases of the game so I look for them to have a much better effort here on Saturday afternoon.
