need to know
The Wisconsin Badgers and Iowa Hawkeyes will face off in a Big Ten match at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on December 11 at 6:30 PM ET. These two teams enter the competition, which is supported by the victories they have won in their previous matches.
Even without a dominant performance, Wisconsin beat the Maryland Terrapins 64-59 last week. Guard Chucky Hepburn (13 points) and forward Steven Crowl (12 points) were the Badgers’ top scorers.
Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, last Thursday’s game between Iowa and the Iowa State Cyclones was still pretty decisive as Iowa finished with a 75-56 win at home. Iowa forward Filip Rebraca had a double-double with 22 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks.
Wisconsin is expected to lose the next 4.5. However, those who like to bet on the weak should be happy to hear that they are 2-0 against the spread when they are expected to lose.
The wins brought both teams to the same 7-2. A couple of offensive tricks to keep in mind before tipping: The Badgers only managed to knock 40.10% of their shots, making it the 15th-lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Coming in with an average of 82.4 points per game per game, the Hawkeyes’ offense has more to brag about, making it the 22nd best in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
