Why Wisconsin Will Win

Wisconsin just isn’t going to be the Wisconsin everyone is used to.

It can still play a little bit of defense, but not really. It’s careful with the ball, it moves the ball around well, and yeah, it leads the Big Ten in scoring defense, but this is nowhere near the type of team that had the chops to make a big run in the NCAA Tournament.

But it’s still alive. Barely.

It was cruising right along against Penn State until the D melted down late as the team held on for dear life in a 75-74 win – it survived a late Penn State shot to pull it off.

However, the Badgers were on from three, they were great on the free throw line, and …

Why Iowa Will Win

Iowa got by Wisconsin 77-73 a few days ago and won 77-62 in mid-February. The Hawkeyes have the firepower the Badgers are missing.

Iowa is able to outBadger the Badgers by moving the ball around tremendously well, hits everything from three, and it doesn’t make any mistakes and manages to own the boards.

Thanks to Luka Garza leading the way, the Hawkeyes can win inside or out. Wisconsin has to win by grinding things down to a dead stop, but …

What’s Going To Happen

That’s not really Wisconsin this year.

This isn’t the watching-paint-dry type of team that goes slow-and-go, and it doesn’t have nearly enough pop to keep up if and when the Iowa O goes off. The Badgers will still make the NCAA Tournament, but the late season struggles will continue with a rough loss.

Why Wisconsin Will Win

The Badgers might be struggling, but they haven’t been too bad from the field.

The run of four losses in the last five games includes a 68-51 clunker to Iowa a few weeks ago with the O not working at all, but that’s an aberration. The Hawkeye defense has been better lately, but the 30% from the field by Bucky was tied for the worst shooting performance by anyone this year against that D.

It’s not going to happen again.

Iowa is used to giving up a ton of points and it doesn’t do enough to guard teams from three, and Wisconsin hasn’t been bad from the outside over the last few games. But …

Why Iowa Will Win

Again, the Iowa D has stepped up lately.

It was a rough year stopping anyone in shootouts, but all of a sudden the defense has been terrific with teams failing to hit 40% from the field in five of the last eight games.

The offense hasn’t gone so all out, it’s been in more control, limited the turnovers, and the results have been great from early February on. Basically, Iowa went more Wisconsin in style – just a wee bit – and it has paid off.

What’s Going To Happen

Wisconsin is dying a painful death. Usually it’s a team that controls its style and dictates the tempo, and that’s not happening.

The defense has been shockingly awful, and the offense isn’t there to make up for it. It’s not all going to suddenly come together on an Iowa team that’s going to finish third in the regular season Big Ten standings.
