The Wisconsin Badgers and the Indiana Hoosiers meet in college basketball action from the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Saturday.
The Wisconsin Badgers will try to bounce back from a 69-65 loss at the hands of Michigan State in their last matchup. Tyler Wahl leads the Badgers in scoring and rebounding with 13.2 PPG and 6.4 RPG while Chucky Hepburn has 13 PPG with 3.5 RPG and a team-high 3.4 APG to lead the Badgers in the assist department. Steven Crowl has 12.9 PPG with a team-high 6.6 RPG to lead the Badgers in rebounding while Connor Essegian has 10.3 PPG to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Wisconsin up to this point in the year. As a team, Wisconsin is averaging 68.3 points per game on 43.3% shooting from the field, 37.4% from three point range and 68.5% from the foul line this season.
The Indiana Hoosiers will try to snap a three-game losing streak after a 85-66 loss to Penn State last time out. Trayce Jackson-Davis leads the Hoosiers in scoring and rebounding with 17.4 PPG and 9.7 RPG with 3.3 APG while Jalen Hood-Schifino has 13.2 PPG and 4.5 APG to lead the Hoosiers in assists as the only other double-digit scorer for Indiana up to this point in the season. As a team, Indiana is averaging 79.9 PPG on 50.6% shooting from the field, 37.8% from three and 68.5% from the foul line this season.
Wisconsin is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. Indiana is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss while the over is 6-0 in their last 6 games following a loss.
I get why Indiana’s favored at home as the Hoosiers have done their best work on their home floor this season. However, the Hoosiers have had little success against the Badgers over the years and the injuries are starting to mount for Indiana. Wisconsin doesn’t do it pretty, but they’re effective and at worst I think this is a one-possession game if the Badgers don’t win it outright. Give me Wisconsin and the points.
