Wisconsin returned 90% of their minutes from last season’s 20-15 squad and 92% of the scoring. All five starters are back, but they didn’t get into their regular form in their first two games, but tonight is the night at Providence who kept both their wins Under the total. Wisconsin averaged a 65-62 score last season in Greg Gard’s eighth season as Wisconsin coach. Back to basics tonight. Under is the play.

My simulations make this total 136. I'm on the Under.

I made a strong case for Tennessee over Wisconsin on Friday and the Vols did not disappoint winning 80-70. Wisconsin HC Greg Gard is in his 8th season, his last two teams ranked outside of the top 30 and top 60. Providence's new HC Kim English cut his teeth at George Mason the last two years, before that he was an assistant at Tennessee under Rick Barnes. The Friars best two players from last year return in Bryce Hopkins and Devon Carter, plus several solid backups and a George Mason transfer. My model has Providence by 5. I sure Barnes gave English a solid scouting report on the Badgers.
