Illinois at Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Badgers are in fourth place in the Big Ten Conference, as the Badgers have come away with wins in each of their last four games. Illinois is 7th in conference play at 9-7 and are 17-9 overall. Both of these teams are top 20 in KenPom, and overall Illinois has the better defense, and the Badgers the better offense. Both these teams like to play fast and they each come into this game averaging better than 80 PPG. This looks like a very even game to me, and I give the slight edge to Illinois because they have a lot more depth with eight players averaging seven or more points a game compared to six for Wisconsin. Make the play on Illinois.
