Scouting Wisconsin

Under Coach Bo Ryan, Wisconsin has been one of the Big Ten’s best programs over the past decade. 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 five in the ranking for nearly the entire season. UW was 15-1 with the only loss coming to No. 2 Duke on Dec. 3 before Rutgers topped the short-handed Badgers on Sunday. Wisconsin won the Battle 4 Atlantis and has wins over Cal, Georgetown and Oklahoma in non-conference play. Not only was Wisconsin without Kaminsky, who averages team-highs in both scoring (16.9 ppg) and rebounding (8.2 rpg), but also lost Traevon Jackson to a right foot injury in the second half. Jackson is expected to miss several weeks of action.

Wisconsin comes into the contest averaging 73.5 points per game while ranking second in the Big Ten in field goal percentage. The Badgers, who lead the conference in fewest turnovers per game (8.3 per game) also boast a Big Ten leading defense, allowing just 54.9 points per game. In addition to Kaminsky, Sam Dekker averages 12.4 points per game while Nigel Hayes is at 12.2 points on 56 percent shooting and 7.1 rebounds per outing.

I think the line is like Huskers +17.

I get they get Frank back and it is at home.. but I just dont think we lose by more than 10.

Sadly I dont have a ton of faith, but they are playing much better basketball and have beaten Wisconsin before..

 
I got faith again. maybe not quite in a win. But something changed that night in Iowa city. I know we got the big guys back and that's a rather big deal to get Pitch back out in his comfort zone, but these last two games there was just more to it than that. There seemed to be extra tenacity and aggressiveness.

Agree! 100%

 
This is a good spot for NU...getting about 16 points...I think that line shows the lack of respect for NU (and lets face it...there should not really be much right now)

I like the points in this one.

Wisconsin: 70

Nebraska: 61
