After a strong start to the campaign, Wisconsin has lost back-to-back outings, most recently falling 69-65 to Michigan State on Tuesday. Indiana's luck hasn't been much better, though. The Hoosiers lost 85-66 to Penn State a few nights ago, marking their third consecutive loss.

Wisconsin vs Indiana Prediction & Pick
Even though Wisconsin is the only ranked team in this matchup, I like Indiana's chances of winning. The Hoosiers have the offensive advantage, averaging 79.9 PPG (No. 22) on 50.6% shooting (No. 3), compared to the Badgers' 68.3 PPG clip (No. 232) with a 43.3% field-goal percentage (No. 205).
Indiana also averages significantly more rebounds (37.1) than Wisconsin (31.7) as well as assists (17.2 vs. 12.6). It's also hard trusting Wisconsin due to its minus-3.7 scoring margin over the last three games, whereas Indiana is a whopping plus-23.3 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
Expect Indiana to break out of its funk this afternoon.
Final Score Prediction:'Indiana: 74 | Wisconsin 71
Wisconsin vs Indiana Best Bet
Even though I see Indiana winning this tilt, there's value in backing Wisconsin on the spread. After all, the Hoosiers are 0-7 ATS in their last seven games and have failed to cover the spread in five of their last seven Saturday matchups.
Meanwhile, the Badgers are at least 4-1 ATS in their last five games against Indiana, having also covered in nine of their last 11 trips to Bloomington. Wisconsin is still ranked for a reason, so expect a close, hard-fought contest.
