NCAA Basketball Betting - Badgers First Game Ever as No. 1

Bookmark and Share by BetUS Staff

Tonight, the Michigan State (19-8).

The Badgers started the season No. 9 and dropped to 12th following a defeat to Missouri State on Nov. 24, but has since won 22 of 23 to claim the top spot.

After going just 1-for-6 in the first half Saturday, Tucker bounced back to finish with 22 points as Wisconsin won 75-49 in an easy cover win over Penn State.

 

However, the blowout may not be a good thing for sports betting Wisconsin supporters in this evening's games, as the Badgers are 1-4 ATS (against the spread) in their last five games following a win of more than 20 points.

 

How Wisconsin fares this evening will depend on the play of Badgers leading scorer, Alando Tucker. The senior forward is averaging 20.4 points, 5.5 points and 2.0 assists.

Tucker has posted seven straight 20-point games. He's averaging 24.3 points on the road, which is nearly six more than his home average, and that's good news for Badgers backers.

Saturday, the Spartans routed Iowa 81-49; it was their second straight win following a four-game skid. Unlike the Badgers, a blowout in their previous game means money for Spartans fans who like to bet online. MSU has had six consecutive paydays in their last six games following a win of more than 20 points.

In the series, the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. The favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last four matchups.

MSU won the last meeting between these teams, 74-65 on March 2, despite Tucker scoring 19 of his 23 points in the second half. The Spartans hold a 40-14 all-time advantage in East Lansing

The Spartans are 1-15 all-time against No. 1-ranked opponents.
