Green Bay posted an 8-17 record overall last year with an 8-12 effort in Horizon League play. The Phoenix landed just three spots out of last place in the standings. In the Horizon League Tournament, Green Bay ended up losing 89-84 (2OT) to Purdue-Fort Wayne. 

Green Bay had a 43-38 lead on Indiana State at halftime in their opener this week, but couldn’t hang on in an eventual 81-77 defeat. Emmanuel Ansong was the leading scorer with 19 points and eight boards, while Donovan Ivory added 16 points and six rebounds. 

Over on the Badgers’ side, they went 18-13 last year with a 10-10 record in a tough Big Ten, putting them in sixth place in the conference standings. The Badgers earned an invite to the NCAA Tournament, where they beat North Carolina before losing to Baylor in the Second Round. 

Wisconsin got a big 81-58 win over St. Francis-BK in their opener, jumping out to a 42-21 edge by the half. Jonathan Davis led the team on 15 points with five assists and three rebounds, and Chucky Hepburn chipped in with 13 points, one rebound and one assist. 

Wisconsin is 3-0-1 ATS in their last four Friday games and 1-3-1 ATS in their last five overall. The Badgers are 9-3-2 ATS in their last 14 after an ATS loss. 

Meanwhile, the Phoenix are 1-4 ATS in their last five overall and 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 after a straight-up loss. The over is 8-3 in Green Bay’s last 11 overall. 

PICK: I’m probably sticking with Wisconsin. The Badgers had something of a warmup game back on Tuesday, so they really didn’t have too much trouble with the Terriers. Wisconsin shot 43.9 percent from the field, 45.5 percent from 3-point range (10-of-22) and out-rebounded St. Francis-BK 48-31. The Badgers probably won’t be able to muscle Green Bay around quite as much, but I don’t see any reason why Wisconsin can’t cover if they play to their capabilities.
