The #16 Ohio State Buckeyes travel to take on the #13 Wisconsin Badgers after E.J. Liddell scored 34 points in Ohio State’s 95-87 victory over the Northwestern Wildcats. In the last 10 games, the Badgers are 9-1, averaging 73.0 points, 31.9 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 4.7 steals and 3.5 blocks per game while shooting 42.6% from the field.

The Buckeyes are 7-3 in the last 10 games, averaging 75.0 points, 33.3 rebounds, 14.4 assists, 5.0 steals, and 5.1 blocks per game while shooting 47.8% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 71.0 points. The last time these teams played Ohio State pounded Wisconsin. With this game still fresh in their minds, you can expect Wisconsin to be more prepared for this game. The Badgers big men should be able to contain Lidell unless he has another above-average shooting performance from 3-point range. The Badgers have more offense, better defense, and are smarter on both ends of the court. Take the Badgers and the Under in this one.
