A pair of 5 – 1 programs take the court on Wednesday as part of the Big Ten / ACC Challenge, as #23 Wisconsin arrives as slight favorites in Atlanta.
The Badgers don’t have all of that senior leadership anymore but yet here they are riding the momentum of winning the Maui Invitational. If that win over St. Mary’s in the title game didn’t impress you enough then I guess the Houston outcome didn’t do it for you either? Yeah, your ass it didn’t, as this young team already has the tone set for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign.
The Jackets weren’t invited to any early-season tournaments, so they used their time wisely just winning home games. Georgia Tech is 4 – 1 at home and lost their only away game to start this year but the Badgers come into town riding a big high.
Wisconsin Badgers
Oh, that Houston game was an instant classic and if you missed that one you just missed a damn good game. To follow that up with a win over St. Mary’s and take the Maui title certainly has this team in a good mood… and tan! LoL
So, the Badgers come in ranked and favored and expected to build on that win with a road result on Wednesday. What is it with Wisconsin teams? Football, Basketball, and I bet if we looked at their entire sports network defense is probably a word being used on campus.
It’s just the mindset that has carried the Badgers’ programs for years and it works. It may not be pretty and flashy and full of exposure but what it does do is get you into the post-season time and again. This program is used to landing in the big dance and Greg Gard has only produced one losing season in his 7 years here.
The Badgers defense is ranked 8th in scoring only allowing 55.2 PPG and making free throws is just a given here. The Badgers free throw percentage as a team is at 83% and that is just about as good as you can get it.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
The Jackets did what they should have done, and that is taking advantage of that home-court advantage that should give you the advantage if you get my drift!
Taking out Georgia on the road along the way? Hey, we’ll just call that gravy because we all know that rivalry is a big one.
Remember now, this Jacket team has won 5 straight games coming into this affair with their only loss coming on opening day. A 3-point loss to Miami Ohio has been put well in the rear-view mirror and the Jackets want to make sure they make the Badgers feel very unwelcomed to McCamish.
I don’t know why the line setters seem to think the Jackets should be this big of a dog, but this bee will be buzzing at home as they always are. We know the Badger defense is stout but that won’t stop the Jackets from throwing up 3s all night.
The Jackets are ranked 19th shooting 41.1% from distance and it is a big part of how this team puts up nearly 76 PPG.

Free Wisconsin Badgers vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets NCAAB Betting Prediction:
This line is tough because I do expect a tight game throughout. I do, however, see the Badgers as the team that will escape with a win. This may be a young team but they are playing together and have momentum… oh, and yeah, the tan let’s not forget, LoL
