Wisconsin is coming into this game with an 11-3 record this season and they are 1-2 in the conference. Their last loss came in the conference on the road against Illinois by 6 points, but they have been much better since then with 3 straight wins. They have won all 3 of those games by 9+ points and they are going to have a lot of confidence as they are coming off of their 1st conference win of the season in their last game, beating Iowa at home 116-85. They have lost both of their road games this season, but those losses also came against 2 quality opponents in Marquette and Illinois. They are going up against a Rutgers team that is 8-6 this season and they are 1-2 in the conference. They have not been playing well in their recent games as they have lost 2 of their last 3 games, and they are coming off of a 10 point loss on the road against Indiana in their last game. They have been much better at home this season as they have won all 7 of their games there, but they have not played many quality opponents either. Their best win at home this season was their only conference win as they beat Penn State by 4 points, but they also blew a 10+ point lead in that game and made it much closer in the end than it needed to be. Rutgers has been a mediocre team this year with their shooting as well as their rebounding, and they have not been a big threat from beyond the arc either. They have not been as good defensively either and that will get them into trouble here. Wisconsin has been the better shooting team this season as well as being much better on defense, and they also have the best free throw percentage in the country which will play a big factor here. Wisconsin will win this game.
