Michigan vs Wisconsin Game Preview


Why Michigan Will Win

The offense isn’t nearly consistent enough and the team can’t seem to find anything it can count on, but it won three of its last four games just when it needed to make a push.

So what is it doing right? It’s moving the ball around a whole lot better and it’s showing, hitting half the shots or more in three of the last four games.

There are lots and lots and lots of assists – with 21 in two of the last three games – and now the Wolverines get a Wisconsin defense that just doesn’t force mistakes.

The Badgers have also won three of their last four games, but it’s scuffling. The threes aren’t there, the free throw shooting hasn’t been anything special, and …

Why Wisconsin Will Win

Wisconsin is one of those find-a-way teams.

No, it doesn’t shoot well enough. No, it doesn’t hit threes. No, the free throws aren’t there, the rebounding is just okay, and there aren’t enough big defensive plays.

But the team keeps on winning.

The defense has been able to get out on the outside shooters, and Michigan doesn’t hit from three – one great game against Purdue aside.

The Badgers don’t give up the ball, they don’t give up transition points, and Michigan is even worse at forcing turnovers.

What’s Going To Happen

Michigan has to get hot right away.

The key is to not let the Badgers hang around, because they usually come up with the right three, the right pass for an easy basket, and the right defensive stop at the right time.

That, and Michigan isn’t good enough on the road. It’s 4-6, and it’s not going to be able to shoot its way into a road victory in a game that’s won’t be anything pretty.

Michigan vs Wisconsin Game Preview


Why Michigan Will Win

Graham Mertz.

It’s absolutely not fair to put two key losses on a college kid – it’s always on the well-paid adult coaches to teach and make the situation work. In Wisconsin’s case, the inability to consistently run the ball has been a problem since the beginning of last year, and the misery in the red zone has proven costly.

The Badgers were 1-of-4 inside the 20 in the 16-10 loss to Penn State, and settled for two field goals when the Notre Dame game was still in question.

With all of that, Mertz has to be better after throwing four picks against the Irish – two were returned for scores – and two against Penn State.

Michigan just has to hang around.

The Wisconsin secondary will give up a few deep shots if you keep testing them out – ask Penn State – and Cade McNamara is averaging over ten yards per throw. As long as the Wolverines can be patient, the chance will be there for a passing attack that has to work because …

Week 5 College Football Expert Picks

Why Wisconsin Will Win

Defense, defense, defense.

Lost in the mega-meltdown of the Badgers in the fourth quarter against Notre Dame was how the defense did its part with absolutely no help from the other side.

The Badgers were supposed to dominate the Notre Dame offensive front – they came up with six sacks and allowed three rushing yards – and allowed just 248 yards of total offense.

The Michigan running game was held in check by Rutgers and it should be ground down to a halt again. It’s all about whether or not those Mertz turnovers and mistakes stop – Michigan only has four takeaways and doesn’t generate enough pressure in the backfield.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s been totally forgotten now, but Wisconsin outplayed Penn State and had that game won, but the Penn State defense stepped up in the key moments to pull it off.

Wisconsin was actually winning 13-10 in Soldier Field early in the fourth, and then the ensuing kickoff return after a field goal started the avalanche.

This is one of the big moments for a Badger program that hasn’t been itself. It hasn’t been able to run the ball well enough, there are too many mistakes, and last week’s final 14 minutes were among the most embarrassing in the last 25 years for the program.

That will all translate into a strong first half, but once again, there will be missed opportunity after missed opportunity. Wisconsin will seem like it’s dominating, and it’ll be up 9-6.

Mertz will be fine, and the defense will be great, but the red zone woes will continue as Michigan bends just enough to look shaky.

Two big deep plays will open things up in the second half as the Wolverines escape a brutal fight that ends with Mertz’s first turnover of the game.

Why Michigan Will Win

Fresh legs won’t be a problem.

The Wolverines have been off for over three weeks, but can the offense stay as hot as it was before the layoff?

They had one clunker of a shooting game against Minnesota and were magnificent against everyone else, including Wisconsin in a 77-54 win back in mid-January. They were great from the outside – they hit 40% or more from three in three of their last four games – before the break.

Again, they were great against the Badgers hitting a season-high 56% from three.

Wisconsin has struggled with its consistency, the defense hasn’t been strong enough – forget it when it allows 45% or more from the field – and the Wolverines hit 50% from the field, but …

Why Wisconsin Will Win

How sharp will Michigan be?

Wisconsin might not be desperate, but it’s not going to be all that far off after losing three of its last five games. However, this seems to be one of those teams that’s able to overcome clunkers with something great.

It managed to go win-loss-win-loss-win-loss and, if you care about patterns and adjustments, it’s due for a win, especially being at home for just the second time since January 23rd.

For all of the issues, Wisconsin still has the best defense in the Big Ten, it doesn’t normally enough a whole lot of mistakes, and when it’s hitting from the outside, it wins. However …

What’s Going To Happen

The team that’s No. 1 in the nation in turnovers has turned it over a lot lately – for the Badgers.

It doesn’t seem like it’s a ton, but double-digit turnovers are cause for alarm, and they’ve given it up ten or more times in each of the last four games after doing that just four times in the previous 17.

One of those games was against Michigan.

It might be the first game back for the Wolverines, and this isn’t the team you want to tune-up against, but the scoring punch will be there in the second half to get back on track.

Why Wisconsin Will Win

The Badgers have finally been able to get this whole thing going … maybe.

They’ve been rocky and inconsistent all season long, but they’ve been able tp get back into the NCAA Tournament hunt with a four-game winning streak with – shocking for this program – great defense to do along with a whole lot happening from three.

As always, this is a tough team that doesn’t make a whole lot of mistakes – it leads the Big Ten and is fifth in the nation in fewest turnovers – and Michigan’s defense is among the worst in the country at forcing mistakes. However …

“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Michigan Will Win

Michigan’s defense is terrific, especially against teams that need to hit from three like Wisconsin does.

This isn’t a strong-shooting Badger team overall, and generating easy points is a painful grind at times which all fits right into the gameplan of the Wolverines.

No, Michigan doesn’t take the ball away, but it also doesn’t turn the ball over – it’s about as good as Wisconsin is at being careful with the ball.

It also helps that …

What’s Going To Happen

Michigan is the Big Ten’s best shooting team. It’s great at moving the ball around, and it should be able to own the boards against a Badger team that doesn’t come up with a whole slew of second chance points.

Before beating Nebraska last week, Wisconsin lost its previous three games on the road. It’ll start a new streak.
