MATCHUP SUMMARY

These teams play similar basketball styles with their offensive and defensive tempo’s. Look for this to be a slow-paced game as each team likes to run their offense rather than take quick shots.  The Scarlet Knights may appear better on paper but the Badgers are the better team here. The Badgers have faced tougher opponents so far and if you have watched both teams there is a clear difference in talent which will give the Badgers the edge.
