Butler Bulldogs vs. Wisconsin Badgers Preview

The Bulldogs (25-9) made it to the Big Dance finals last season and they are a surprise Sweet 16 squad this season that will have to deal with a great Wisconsin (25-8) defense to advance to the Elite 8. NCAAB lines have Wisconsin as 5-point favorites with a low total of 124.

To advance to the Sweet 16 Butler scored a huge upset taking out the region’s top-seed in Pittsburgh 71-70 and Wisconsin beat Kansas State 70-65.

This season these teams have been almost even in terms of betting with Wisconsin at 17-12 ATS and Butler at 17-13-2 ATS.

Wisconsin has a defense that ranks 5th in the nation in opponents’ points allowed and in their last 3 games they have given up 5 fewer points than their season average. That is not good for a Butler team that only ranks 192nd in the nation in scoring.

Butler is a little lucky to be in the Sweet 16 needing a dumb foul from Pitt player to ice the win. However, Butler was solid in the game shooting 46% from the floor. Still, Pitt had 10 more rebounds in the game and the Panthers shot 56.5% from the field.

Wisconsin and their solid D really only has to worry about 2 guys in G Shelvin Mack and F Matt Howard, who combined for 46 points in the win over Pitt. Mack was the high scorer with 30 points and he hit 7 of 12 of his 3-pointers. Mack and Howard can both drain the 3 and they will have to do so in this game to pull off the upset.

Wisconsin did not have the best shooting game in the win over Kansas State shooting 42% from the field, but they had 4 starters score in double figures led by Jon Leuer with 19 points. G Jordan Taylor led the Badgers in scoring this season, but he only scored 12 points on 2/16 shooting in the KSU game and he must play better against a confident Butler team.

Wisconsin will have to play good D and hit their open shots, as they only rank 299th in the nation in rebounds per game.

The Bulldogs will not make it back to the finals and they will not even make it to the Elite 8. Wisconsin will play good D and Taylor will bounce back and have a good game. The Badgers will win this game and cover the 5-point spread.

Betting Trends

Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite and Butler is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog.

Pick: Wisconsin -5
