Wisconsin Badgers vs Wofford Terriers Betting
The breakdown: Wisconsin bounced from the Big Ten Tournament early, while Wofford won its tournament. The Badgers are 10 point favorites, and for the most part, are a fundamentally sound, mistake free team.
Why Wisconsin will win: Bo Ryan’s team doesn’t make many mistakes, and doesn’t play sloppy ball. That will hurt Wofford’s chances of causing havoc and disrupting Wisconsin’s flow. Guard Trevon Hughes has been the catalyst of the Badgers’ team this year, and will be relied upon to carry Wisconsin’s torch deep into March.
Why Wofford will win: The Southern Conference has shown it is capable of competing with the bigger teams, as Davidson has done several times in recent years. Wofford didn’t become 26-8 by accident; the Terriers are a good three point shooting team, and a good defensive team. In worrying about its second round game, Wisconsin could stumble against Wofford in its opener.
Verdict: Wisconsin by eight.
