Back Wisconsin as Slight ’Dog vs Ohio State

· Jan 10 - 4 minutes read

The Wisconsin Badgers will try to remain undefeated in conference play when they visit the Ohio State Buckeyes on Wednesday. Wisconsin has rattled off four straight wins, the last two of which were Big Ten wins, to move atop the conference standings. The Buckeyes will look to change that and bounce back from their second loss in the Big Ten after last falling to Indiana on the road. It should be a tight game, but college basketball expert picks have the Badgers coming out on top on the road.

Moneyline Pick: Wisconsin Badgers (+110)

The game between Wisconsin and Ohio State should be a close one, but the Badgers should be the college basketball pick for Jan. 10 to end up victorious in the end.

The Badgers’ offense has been impressive lately, scoring 80 or more points in all three of their last games while averaging 52.3% shooting during that time. Wisconsin’s defense continues to be just as strong as it has given up just 67 points in its three Big Ten games.

Though Ohio State’s defense has been strong, ranking third in the conference at 65.8 points a game, it has had some issues. The Buckeyes last fell to Indiana after allowing the Hoosiers to shoot 46.6% from the field, but their first Big Ten loss came when they gave up 83 points on 47.7% shooting to Penn State. Against a Wisconsin offense that is rolling, Ohio State may have a hard time containing the Badgers enough to pull out the tight win at home.

Player Prop: Tyler Wahl Over 10½ Points (-118)

Though Wahl got the season off to a bit of an inconsistent start, he has been playing strong for the Badgers as of late and a 10 ½-point mark should be easily attainable for him in a conference matchup. Wahl averages 11.9 points on 54.5% shooting this season, and he has surpassed the 10 ½-point threshold in all of Wisconsin’s last four games. He should be a strong NCAAB player prop pick to hit the over on the 10 ½-mark against Ohio State.
