Wisconsin is coming into this game with a 19-5 record overall and they are 6-2 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. This will be their 15th conference matchup of the year and they are currently 10-4 in their conference games this season. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. Their 2 wins in that span were against the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Michigan State Spartans while their loss came against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in their last game. Tyler Wahl led the team in points in that game with 23 while Steven Crowl was next on the team with 12 points. Crowl, Brad Davison, and Chucky Hepburn all led the team in assists in that game with 3 each while Jonathan Davis led the team in rebounds with 8. They were 47.3% from the field, 21.1% from 3-point range, and 52.9% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 70.9 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 66.4 PPG against them. Wisconsin has an ATS record of 13-11 this season and their O/U record is 15-9.

 

 

Indiana is coming into this game with a 16-8 record overall and they are 13-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 15th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 7-7 in their conference games this season. Their last win was against the Maryland Terrapins but they have gone on a 3 game losing streak since then with losses coming against the Illinois Fighting Illini, the Northwestern Wildcats, and the Michigan State Spartans in their last game. Trayce Jackson-Davis led the team in points in that game with 17 while Race Thompson and Tamar Bates off the bench were both next on the team with 13 points each. Xavier Johnson led the team in assists in that game with 4 while Thompson led the team in rebounds with 14. They were 33.9% from the field, 23.8% from 3-point range, and 59.3% from the free throw line with their shots this season. Their offense is averaging 71.5 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 63.8 PPG against them. Indiana has an ATS record of 13-11 this season and their O/U record is 10-14.

 

Wisconsin is coming into this game off of a loss in their last game and that was a bad loss for them as they lost at home to Rutgers who is not even a ranked team. They are still holding strong at 10-4 in their conference games but they have lost 2 of their last 4 games and have not been playing their best recently. They are going up against an Indiana team that has been very good at home this season with a 13-2 record in those games but they have struggled against conference opponents with a 7-7 record. Indiana has not been playing well either recently and they are coming into this game after 3 straight losses. They lost 2 of those games by double digits as well and they have been dealing with disciplinary issues with players on their team as well. Wisconsin is still the better team here and has been playing a lot better than Indiana has been, they will be hungry to bounce back from that bad loss at home in their last game. Wisconsin should get the win here by around 10 points.

"We had some costly mistakes in the second half. I feel like that is what lost us the game." - Johnny Davis on their loss against Rutgers.

 

 

“We’re not shooting the ball very well right now. Look at the three-ball. We shot terribly in that category. Free throws — we didn’t make free throws. If you make your free throws, you’re in the ballgame. It’s a game.They made their free throws and we didn’t — that was a big part of it. I thought we started the second half, we came out ready to play and ended up going on a little 8-0 run to take the lead and then we just couldn’t sustain it.” - Mike Woodson on his team’s inconsistent offense after their loss against MSU.
