Tuesday night Wisconsin plays Ohio State in Columbus. The Badgers beat OSU on January 31st. Wisconsin won by ten points 92-82, after starting the game slow and trailing 15-4. UW averages 83 points a game and OSU averages 81 points. This game is big for both teams, one is trying to get a higher seed line, while the other is trying to get off the bubble. Wisconsin is a seven seed in the NCAA tournament, as we speak. Ohio State is on the outside looking in right now. The Badgers are coming in hot from last week, where they beat two top ten teams. They beat Illinois by two and beat the brakes off of Michigan State. UW made a combination of thirty-one three pointers last week. Wisconsin made sixteen against Illinois and fifteen against MSU.
The Badgers have been making their outside shots when they win, since the end of January the killer Bees have been scoring inside. John Blackwell and Nick Boyd have turned it on lately in the paint. If Wisconsin wants to beat Ohio State, they need big games from the B brothers and keep hitting from the outside. Their defense played really well in the first game against OSU and need to repeat it tonight. OSU has big physical guards which will be a tough test. Overall, I think it should be a hard fought battle. The Badgers pull out a five to ten point win.
On Wisconsin!!
