The Wisconsin Badgers look to complete a season sweep of College Basketball Picks versus the Illinois Illini in a key Big Ten Conference game. The Badgers come into this one 21-4 SU overall including 11-2 SU in the Big-10 and share the lead in the loss column with Indiana and Purdue after the Hoosiers beat the Boilermakers last night. Wisconsin has done well on the road this year as they are 5-1 SU in the Big-10 and 7-2 SU overall. Senior forward Brian Butch leads the Badgers with 12.6 points and 7.0 rebounds per game in an offense that scores 68.7 points per game. The Wisconsin defense has been tough all season long allowing a paltry 55 points per game overall. Being in the road in Conference play is tough and the line might reflect that as the Badgers are listed as a small -2 point favorite at WagerWeb.com
The Illinois Fighting Illini looked like they were getting things on track as they were 9-9 SU through their first 18 games of College Basketball Picks. However, it appears that the wheels have fallen off as they have lost six of their last eight games putting their record at 11-15 SU overall. They have really struggled in Conference play as they are a horrible 3-10 SU this year. The Illini are coming off a 52-51 loss at Penn State on Saturday and has a 6.8 point average margin of defeat in conference games. Senior center Shaun Pruitt leads Illinois with 12.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in an offense that scores an average of 65.8 points per game. The Illini haven’t been able to compete with top teams either this season as they are 0-6 SU versus ranked opponents. One hope could come tonight from their defense that only gives up an average of 59.7 points per game at home.
Wisconsin might have more going for them at this point in the season but Illinois would like nothing more to be the spoiler and they just might have the advantage tonight as the Badgers are 2-8 ATS off a win against a conference rival this season while Illinois is a stellar 20-7 ATS in home games on Wednesday games since 1997.
