ASA 10* CBB Situational Slam
(NCAAB) Wisconsin vs. Ohio State,
Point Spread: -4.00 | -110.00 Ohio State (Home)
Result: Win
#604 ASA PLAY ON 8* Ohio State -3.5 over Wisconsin, Saturday at 12 PM ET - We are located in Madison WI so we know the Badgers quite well. They have outperformed expectations thus far but they are still a very young team (303rd nationally in experience) that will have ups & downs. We think this is a spot they will struggle. It’s just their 2nd true road game of the season after winning by 4 points @ Georgia Tech on December 1st. A Tech team that is solid but nowhere near as good as this Ohio State team. Wisconsin is off a game on Wednesday night where they were in a huge 22 point hole at home vs Indiana and made a massive comeback to pick up a win. It was Wisconsin’s biggest comeback in school history. Ohio State was taking care of non-conference foe Towson while the Badgers were exerting a huge amount of energy in their comeback. Both teams are very good defensively but OSU has the much better offensive numbers. They rank 7th nationally in efficiency, 11th in eFG%, 18th in 3 point FG%, and 32nd in 2 point FG%. Wisconsin ranks 48th, 272nd, 262nd, and 245th respectively in those categories. OSU is 5-0 at home this year including a win over Duke. The Badgers are very good this year, better than expected but this is a bad spot for them. Take OSU.
