This season, four different Wildcats have scored in double figures, with Caleb Love leading the way with 13.5 points per game. Then, Jaden Bradley and Caleb Love are tied for the team lead in assists at 3.5 per game. They’ve been the best players on this team so far and they’re massive keys just because they’re at the back. This offense makes this team go and they are ready to show it here against the Badgers.

Arizona’s defense was solid last year. They allowed 71.2 points per game, 42.1% from the field and 32.9% from behind the arc.

Seven different Wildcats are averaging at least one steal per game, with Jaden Bradley leading the way with 1.5. The Wildcats have improved to become tougher on defense, which will be key against a solid offense like Wisconsin.

Why Wisconsin Will Cover Spread/Win

Wisconsin’s offense was inconsistent last season and struggled at times. They scored 74.7 points per game, had a 46.1% field goal percentage and a 34.9% three-point percentage. This season, five Badgers are averaging over double figures in scoring, with John Tonje leading the way with 17.7 points per game. Crowl also leads the team in assists with 3.3 per game. The Badgers have the talent to play well on offense, but this will be a massive step up from previous wins.

The Badgers defense was inconsistent last season and struggled more often than not. They allowed 70 points per game, 45.7% from the field and 36.9% from behind the arc. Nolan Winter is playing well down low this season and is rebounding at 6.7 per game. Then two players are averaging at least 0.7 blocks per game, with Winter and Markus Ilver leading the way. Then five Badgers are averaging at least one steal, with Max Klesmit leading the way with three per game. This is a big test for Wisconsin and their defense as Arizona is one of the best offenses in the country.

Arizona-Wisconsin Predictions and Final Picks

The Badgers should keep things close in this game early on. It’s a huge home game for them, getting a top 10 team like Arizona, but Arizona should cover this game. Expect the Badgers to be ready and make it a battle early on, but Arizona’s talent will be too much and they should win and cover. Arizona’s talent, combined with how tough they are on defense this year and the fast pace on offense, is why they should win and cover decisively in the end.
