    Alternate Uniforms for Wisconsin Game

    Player to watch; Jared Berggren

    The 6'10" Senior leads a balanced offense in scoring at 13.4 ppg and is comfortable drawing out a "traditional" center to the 3 pt line when needed (He's shooting 39% from three). He also part of the "Wisconsin System", barely playing his first two seasons before becoming a main cog in a typically older Badger lineup. The big man also is one of the best FT shooters on the team, shooting 80% on the year.

    Points will be at a premium

    Until the wheels fell off at Northwestern, Wisconsin was the only B1G team with a slower game tempo than the low scoring Huskers. The Badgers are intentionally deliberate with their offense, deadly from 3 pt range, dominating the boards on both ends, and known for their suffocating defense. The 9 turnovers per game they average is good for the 2nd best turnover % in Division 1.

    Last time they played Wisconsin shot a dreadful less than 25% from 3pt range and the FT line to only put up 47 points in Lincoln. Luckily for them, Brandon Ubel made the Husker's only two 3pt attempts and they simply don't shot free throws to only put up 41. In fact, Nebraska hasn't scored over 50 points on Wisconsin since they joined the conference and don't look for it to happen tonight.

    Wisconsin is simply on a roll right now, a roll that has seen them win 5 of their last 6 conference games including a 20 point beat down of Ohio State. Expect the Badgers to be firing tonight after nearly a week to prepare for the Huskers and only Purdue next on the docket.

    Prediction: Wisconsin 65 - Nebraska 49
