The Wisconsin Badgers (#3) look to bounce back and start off the NCAA Tournament with a win against #14 Colgate in the First Round.
Wisconsin lost in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, falling to Michigan State 69-63 as 3.5-point favorites. This loss came five days after Wisconsin suffered a 74-73 loss at home to the Nebraska Cornhuskers as a 12.5-point favorite after leading scorer Johnny Davis left the game early with an injury.
Wisconsin was playing great prior to the two losses with a 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS run that included upset wins over Indiana, Rutgers and Purdue.
The Wisconsin defense is solid on the season giving up just 66.5 points a game which will absolutely come into play, but it’s the health of Johnny Davis and how he plays that will determine how well the Badgers do.
