March Madness First-Round Betting – Can Wofford Do The Unthinkable?
The Wofford Terriers are not exactly a brand name. As a matter of fact, most college basketball fans can’t name a single player off of their team and don’t know which conference they come from.
Even so, the Terriers could have more bite than perceived. In an early game this season, the Terriers lost 63-60 to the Pittsburgh Panthers and that was with their best player Junior Salters finishing 3-of-13 from the field.
Wisconsin might have some trouble with this matchup and they’ll have to play a fully focused game to advance.
Who Are The Terrier?
The Terriers were on the wrong end of a 70-43 beating at the hands of Wisconsin a couple of years ago. That has changed now as a number of their players have grown up.
The Terriers do a very good job of forcing turnovers, which is really what this game will come down to. They enter on a 13-game winning streak and one of the main reasons is by forcing opponent’s miscues.
On the inside, their leading scorer is Noah Dalman, who is a big banger. On the outside, Salters is their sharp-shooter and if Wisconsin fails to defend the perimeter as they did against Illinois, they are going to be in trouble.
Wofford is confident and they are hot. They may have what it takes
Who Are The Badgers?
The Badgers are coming off an ugly loss against Illinois but that will probably serve as a wakeup call. They weren’t the best team in the Big Ten but they were decent. Unlike last year, they didn’t have to sweat out an NCAA Tournament berth.
Senior guards Trevon Hughes and Jason Bohannon lead the way but forward Jon Leuer is a key contributor. He’s the team’s best option on the inside but can also step back and hit shots from the perimeter.
Overall, this is team that can spread you out and hit three’s – all five starters have three-point range – but they don’t have much depth behind that. That’s the team’s weakness as they can’t afford any foul trouble.
Outlook & Pick
Wofford is decent but they won’t get past the first round. Unfortunately for them, this is just a bad matchup.
While they like to feed off of turnovers, they are facing the team that coughs up the fewest in the nation (8.9).
Wofford has the advantage inside and if they can force the Badgers into foul trouble, this will get interesting. Otherwise, expect the Badgers to advance.
