What is the perception of these teams right now? What do you guys think about them?

Looking at the matchup, I thought Mich would roll them, and the books throw a 3 at me and get me scared. I think public perception of Michigan is definitely a bit inflated, especially relative to Wisco.

I thought I would have to lay 5.5. Shit.

Think the line is "fair?"

Think Michigan collapse is still on everyone's mind. Think playing yesterday will actually help them don't overthink it Michigan wins and plays with chip on shoulder. Wisky hits about 10-12 three's is only chance?

I think it's a fair line....maybe a point or two low. Bucky was like a 2 point fave in Madison so on this neutral court, it's about right.

It's scary to think about these past games though. Michigan hasn't been able to close and the Badgers have made about 10% of their 3 pointers.

From the beginning I've felt like Wisky needs to muddy up the game and make shots to win...if they get down they start chucking and then get run out. Look at their big wins...Indy, OSU, they shot lights out. Lose to Iowa, Minny, MSU and the PSU game...they shot like crap.

I'd lean Michigan here because of the revenge factor and I think they have more to gain by winning to solidify themselves as a 2 seed. Badgers I think are pretty set on a 4-5 win or lose.

Line seems low, public on Michigan and it just dropped to 2. Whisky or nothing here.

Good luck.

Where it is real F ing COLD
Wisconsin is a tough team to bet on cause they don't have the best talent but they are the best coached team. I LOVE Bo Ryan and I usually have a disdain for the Badgers in any sport but have a tough time rooting against this coach.

They generally bring a slow it down game but if they see a weakness they will run. When they played Ohio State the second time they really capitalized by running up and down the court and blew them the fuck out. Then the next game its back to half court. Badgers are a tricky team.

A little off topic, but I have a gut feeling the Gophers make a little noise next week assuming they get into the dance.

Michigan was a 3 point fave AT WISCO

Now they are only 2 on neutral court?

I cant see Wisco scoring enough to match michigan but this line stinks

Michigan relies on the 3 ball decently so they are always going to be a risk in a tourney/neutral site setting. Wiscy plays solid D, especially against the 3, so they are apt to keep it close even though on paper it appears other teams may be much better. Additionally Michigan has not defended the 3 well in their recent game in single digits will be there throughtout for Wiscy to get back in.

Pomeroy has his score prediction at a 1 point Wolverine victory, not surprised the line has trended towards that.

But this game is not being played in Vegas so it really doesn't matter anyway.

I guess the Badgers can shoot 24% and be winning....how about that?!?!

I actually played Bucky and the Under as a semi-homer pick.
