Ryan, who is in his 14th season in Madison, has guided the Badgers to 13 NCAA Tournaments, including six appearances in the NCAA Sweet 16 and last year’s Final Four appearance. The 2014-15 Badgers have four starters back, including preseason All-American Frank Kaminsky, and have been in the top 10 since the start of the season. Wisconsin’s only loss at full strength was an 80-70 loss to Duke on Dec. 3. In Big Ten play, the Badgers are 9-1 and in control of the league race, as their only Big Ten loss came at Rutgers on Jan. 11 when the Badgers were missing Frank Kaminsky and lost Traevon Jackson to a broken foot. Since then, the Badgers have won six straight, starting with a win over the Huskers on Jan. 15. Wisconsin has won five of the six games in that stretch by double figures.Wisconsin comes into the contest averaging 74.0 points per game while ranking second in the Big Ten in field goal percentage (.486). The Badgers, who lead the conference in fewest turnovers per game (7.5 per game), also boast a Big Ten leading defense, allowing just 56.2 points per game.Kaminsky is a frontrunner for Big Ten Player of the Year, he averages team highs in both scoring (17.5) and rebounding (8.1) while shooting 41 percent from 3-point range. Junior Sam Dekker averages 12.8 points and 5.1 rebounds per game while Nigel Hayes is at 12.5 points on 54 percent shooting and 6.4 rebounds per outing. 1 Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The line is interesting...8.5 With that said most of my predictions are spot on (I wish) and I think the Huskers win this won with the Badgers sleeping on them and what will be HORRIBLE Big Ten refs calling 20 more fouls on Wisconsin. Huskers 71 Badger 62 Lots of Huskers "fans" just back on the wagon and we see lots of "if we could only play like this all the time..." and "Man, we can still sneak into the dance" posts.

It'sNotAFakeID Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 We need a spark. Beating #5 Wisconsin (highest win vs ranked team since 2010?) would certainly provide one heading into a difficult stretch of games. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I would be surprised if Wisconsin doesn't win by 20 or more. Quote Link to comment

Haha I love the last part of this post. But I still think we lose by at least 15. At least the atmosphere should be insane! Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Wisconsin will settle in a zone and sprinkle in some press, and it'll be 38-11 at halftime im afraid. Quote Link to comment
SmackeyAvery Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Any chance Walter doesn't start tonight? I'm thinking this might be where Tim makes his move and puts in Leslee or Moses for Walter. Quote Link to comment
SUHperman Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Any chance Walter doesn't start tonight? I'm thinking this might be where Tim makes his move and puts in Leslee or Moses for Walter. I doubt it. Of the three Walt has the "best" chance of scoring. I don't think any of them will be able to gaurd kaminsky as he go on the block and shoot from the perimeter. Quote Link to comment
Behr Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Wisconsin hasn't played 1 second with a zone defense since Bo arrived. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Wisconsin hasn't played 1 second with a zone defense since Bo arrived. Well, if they wanna hold Nebraska to 11 points in the first half, they outta consider taking it up. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 If Nebraska wins it will be the first win against Top 5 team since #3 Texas in 2010-11. Quote Link to comment
