The Penn State Nittany Lions are trying to make a late run at the NCAA Tournament, but they have a tough road ahead of them. If the Nittany Lions are going to have any chance of getting in the tournament, they must win this game against the mighty Wisconsin Badgers. The positive for Penn State is that there were able to take down Wisconsin in Happy Valley earlier this year. Can they do it again on a neutral floor in Indianapolis?

Talor Battle is the heart and soul of this Penn State basketball team. Battle is one of the Big Ten’s best players, and he is a very tough guard to defend. The problem is the Nittany Lions aren’t a very deep team. Jeff Brooks is a solid interior player who can get after it on the glass, but Battle really doesn’t have any other help in the backcourt.

Tim Frazier is the second-leading scorer among the guards on this team, and he averages only 5.5 points per game.

There is a lot of weight on Battle’s shoulders on a constant basis. Penn State likes to control the tempo and they play decent defense inside, but they leave far too many shooters open beyond the arc.

Wisconsin is a team that consistently flies under the radar, but Bo Ryan’s Badgers are always good. They know how to win, and they make it extremely difficult to get them out of their original game plan. The Badgers play at a very slow pace, and they play solid defense. The Badgers are a great defensive rebounding team, which limits their opponent to just one opportunity almost every time.

Why do the Badgers consistently win close games? Wisconsin is the best free throw shooting team in the nation.

The Badgers shoot an amazing 82.7% from the floor as a team. If they get ahead of you, it is next to impossible to come back on them at the end of the game.

Trends:

PENST are 4-10 ATS in the last 14 meetings.
Under is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings.

The Pick:

If you want to see offense, you’ll want to avoid watching this game. This should be a defensive battle all the way through the game. I expect the Badgers to win, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Penn State keeps it close most of the way.

Prediction: Wisconsin 61 Penn State 54
