OHIO STATE VS WISCONSIN PREDICTION 

The Badgers have had a number of recent issues from King leaving the team and rumors of their coach going to be fired to ultimately one of their trainers getting fired. if this wasn’t a wake-up call for their coach Greg Gard then his time is limited. The Badgers shoot well on their home court and they defend the three just as well.  The Badgers are 7-0 when they make 10 or more 3-pointers and 6-10 when they fall shy of that mark. The Buckeyes are 8-0 when they make 10 or more 3-pointers and 7-7 when the team hits fewer than that. Look for the Badgers to show up big back on their home court to cover the spread and get another win over Ohio State.
