Suuuuuuuuuuuper Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuesday! Here we go once again. Looking at the NCAA Basketball slate, it feels like a Saturday with the fantastic matchups that we have across the board. Let's take a look at our expert's College Hoops scribbles and find our best bets across the action!
We are backing the Badgers to get the job done at home in dominant fashion. They have the 6th most efficient offense in the nation that jumps to 5th overall in their L10 games and 11th in eFG%. This team is 11-1 at home this year, losing only to Michigan by 3 points. They play much faster than in years past, but certainly have the offensive firepower to do so.
Wisconsin hasn't played at home since January 26th, and won't play there again into the 18th. I see this 7-4 Big Ten team playing very good basketball at home tonight considering they are also Top 30 defensively and Top 50 in eFG% defense, offensive rebounds allowed and Top 20 in FT Rate defense. I've thrown plenty of stats out there, but the point is they are rock solid on both sides of the ball, especially at home, especially in their last 10.
Indiana is floundering having lost three straight and 5 of their L6. It would've been six straight had they not pulled out an OT win against Ohio State. The offense falls off slightly on the road, especially in taking care of the basketball. They rely heavily on offensive rebounds which could be tough to come by tonight, and defensively they are bottom 30 in eFG%.
Wisconsin is tied with two other teams at 7-4 in Big Ten play, and are just a game out of being in the Top 4. While the Hoosiers have away wins against Penn State (67th on Bart Torvik) and Ohio State (35th), things are going to be different in Madison tonight against a much better Badgers team.
