Oregon vs. Wisconsin

A pair of sharp defensive teams meet. With more at stake the deeper we go in Big Dance action the more defense coaches demand of their players. Oregon is seventh in the Pac 12 in field goal defense, fifth in three-point defense, and third in steals. Oregon is 4-0 UNDER the total against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Wisconsin is a powerhouse defensive team for Bo Ryan, tops in the Big 10 in scoring defense (56.6 points per game allowed) and rebounding defense. This is the fifth game in 11 days for the Badgers after winning the Big 10 tourney and topping Coastal Carolina two nights ago. Wisconsin is 5-2 UNDER the total following a spread loss, so look for the Badgers to control the tempo with fierce defense and a slow pace for two plays. Play UNDER the game total and the First Half UNDER.
