Premium Pick

Wisconsin has had yet another banner season, and looks to go deep into the NCAA tourney. What we have noticed about this team is one vulnerability. They have struggled against teams that can hit the 3, and it often puts them on the ropes, because they are more of a defensive team, than a team that generates points in a hurry. They lost early on to Missouri St. when Ahern hit 60% from beyond the arc. They needed OT at home vs Winthrop, when Martin hit 7 three's. They lost to Indiana when ratliff hit 67% of his 3's. They lost to Michigan St. when Neitzel hit 6 three's. That could present quite the challenge, as Texas A&M CC is loaded with shooters. This team shot 52% for the season, and 40% from beyond the arc. It is the exact type of team that can present a challenge for Wisconsin. Wisconsin defends the lane well, and does a good job in the buuly-type play in the BIG-10. The difference is, they struggle against free-wheeling offensive minded teams, that can line 3-4 guys up from outside, and negate their inside strength. If Texas A&M CC can get the 3 pointers rolling this game will get very interesting down the wire, we like the points here.
