Wisconsin had won three straight, including the first two games in the Big Ten Tournament before losing 93-87 to eventual winner Illinois. The Badgers are 4-0-1 ATS as favorites at neutral sites and James Madison is 1-5 ATS after an ATS win. Wisconsin allows 69.9 points per game and 45.8 percent shooting. A.J. Storr leads the Badgers with 16.9 points and seven-footer Steven Crowl averages 11.2 points and can hit outside shots if needed. Wisconsin had its biggest win of the season defeating Purdue 76-75 in overtime and the Badgers are playing as well as they have all season especially defensively with the exception of the Illinois game. James Madison is just 2-4 ATS its past six games and the Dukes come into the tournament after winning the Sun Belt title. The Dukes shot 62 percent against Arkansas State in the title game and we can expect them to cool off as they average only 41.3 percent on the season. James Madison is 17-10 UNDER in the first half. Take Wisconsin and the first half UNDER, and also the full game to go UNDER.
