Wisconsin Badgers
The SURPRISE! team so far in this NCAA season, for a few different reasons…

I would say the one thing that really sticks out to me about the Badgers’ season is their conference play so far. They have a bunch of good wins, including victories over Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Maryland, and Michigan State.
They also have a couple meh losses, including dropping games to Purdue and Rutgers. Overall, the Big Ten is real tough this year, and so their 6-5 record isn’t all that awful. However, it’s hard to really believe Wisconsin is in the running to win the conference tournament.
The Badgers play good defense. 20th in KenPom adjusted defense, 22nd in points allowed per game (61.5), and 90th in DRtg (94.9). Teams shoot just 44.7% from 2pt range and 33.7% from 3pt range agains the Badgers.
Minnesota Golden Gophers
Minnesota just lost two in a row.
However, it was against Michigan State and Illinois, who are the top two teams in the Big Ten right now. Since they had one of the worst months of any NCAA team in November, they have no real “bad” losses, and actually are undefeated at home.
Minnesota has a top-30 ranked KenPom adjusted offense for two reasons: Offensive rebounding, and they don’t turn the ball over. In fact, they’re one of the best in the nation in offensive turnover percentage and defensive turnover percentage.
They don’t particularly shoot the ball well, especially from deep. They shoot just 49.4% from 2pt range and 31.7% from 3pt range. However, they have been holding their opponents to 44.3% and 33.2%, respectively, so that’s a winning formula.
Daniel Oturu is the man for this Golden Gopher team. Averaging 20/11 on 60/30/70 splits. PG Marcus Carr is pretty good, too, averaging 16 points and 6 assists per game. He actually has a top-25 assist% in the nation, so it’s nice that Oturu has a 1-guard who can get the ball to him when he’s open on the block.
CBB Betting Trends:
- WIS are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 road games
- WIS are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games
- MINN are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games
Free Wisconsin Badgers vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers NCAAB Prediction: Gotta go with the Gophers.
Minnesota has been pretty damn good at home while Wisconsin has dropped three straight on the road. Additionally, Wisconsin has lost their last three road games by 6 points, 19 points, and 12 points respectively.
With home court advantage being such a massive thing in the Big Ten this year, and with these two teams both hovering in the middle of the Big Ten pack, I think it’s a safe play to take the home side here. Additionally, I have a feeling Minnesota is a slightly better team, and just had a few rough wins at the beginning of the season they are getting over.
Take the Golden Gophers. Take the Golden Gophers to cover. Go Gophers.
