Wisconsin at Florida

Coach Billy Donovan has done a masterful job at Florida, and last year went all the way to the Elite Eight. He has an SEC Championship caliber team this season, and will likely overtake Kentucky who is talented, but green. Kenny Boynton returns along with a pair of other starters to make this Florida team experienced and talented. The Gators also bring back much of their bench depth, so I expect them to be as good as, or better than a year ago. Wisconsin is always a rugged, tough defensive team to play against. They are talented enough to keep games low scoring and tight, as they try to wear you down mentally and physically. The Badgers should be good defensively, but there are a lot of question marks as to where the offense is going to come from, especially early. I like the advantage down the stretch for Florida if things stay tight with more options in a close game. Play Florida on the moneyline.
