Point Spread: -37.50 | -110.00 Wisconsin (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: A 2-10 Florida A&M team travels to Madison, Wi. to take on the 14th-ranked Badgers, who are 10-2 on the season and enter on a six-game winning streak.
Florida A&M: The Rattlers are one of the worst defensive teams in the nation, allowing 84.3 PPG (341st) on 47.9 percent overall shooting and 40.8 percent from three-point range. A&M owns a solid frontcourt player in the 6-6 Desmond Williams (16.3 & 5.1), a junior college transfer from Alabama Southern Community College, but they don't play anyone who stands over 6-8. Guard guard Marcus Barham (11.8 PPG), another JC transfer, is the only other active player averaging double digits in points. The Rattlers are currently without the services of junior guard Craig Bowman, a two-year starter at point guard, who received an indefinite suspension, with no details from the coach or program. Bowman was averaging 13.2 points through five games.
Wisconsin: The Badgers opened the year ranked 9th in the AP's preseason poll and the team's lone losses have come at then-No.2 Creighton (the Bluejays are now No. 9 and unbeaten) and in Maui to then-No.4 North Carolina (now No. 8). Senior guard Koenig (15.2) and 6-8 senior forward Hayes (14.2 & 5.8) are performing as expected but 6-10 sophomore Happ is exceeding expectations, averaging 13.3 & 9.6. The Badgers are always known for their defense and this year is no different, as they allow opponents just 61.2 PPG (20th in the nation).
The pick: Florida A&M hasn't beaten an NCAA team this season and won't win here at the Kohl Center. Wisconsin is 7-0 at home this season, outscoring opponents 80.1-to-54.4 PPG. The Badgers have won their last six overall games by an average margin of 23.2 points, including five double-digit victories and will keep it rolling against the Rattlers, even though they haven't played since a 73-58 win against Green Bay back on Dec. 14. Florida A&M's 83-63 loss at Samford a week ago Thursday marked its ninth straight defeat and the Rattlers won't stop the bleeding here (A&M is 0-5 on the road, getting outscored 88.8-to-65.8 PPG!). The Badgers have won 13 straight at home, where they are 15-2 since coach Greg Gard took over last December, and Wisconsin is 13-0 against current MEAC teams, including two wins over the Rattlers by a combined 92 points. Lay it and make Wisconsin an 8* play.
