Big Ten Tournament - Wisconsin vs. Michigan State Predictions: Odds, Expert Picks, Betting Trends, and Stats
Semi-Final No. 1 Saturday in the Big Ten Tournament features Michigan State (27-5) taking the court against Wisconsin (25-8).
The Spartans jumped out to a ten-point halftime lead against Oregon in their quarterfinal game Friday and kept the Ducks basically at arm's length in the second half eventually winning, 74-64. Freshman Jase Richardson led a balanced Michigan State attack with 17 points.
Wisconsin outscored UCLA 48-29 in the first half of their quarterfinal game Friday and cruised to an 86-70 win. The Badgers converted 19 of 32 shots (59.4%) from beyond the arc to blitz the Bruins. The Badgers only made 11 shots from inside the arc but that historic barrage from long-range was more than enough for Wisconsin to advance to the semis.
Two weeks ago, Michigan State defeated Wisconsin in East Lansing, 71-62. Once again, a balanced scoring attack was a major key for Sparty. Ten different players scored for Michigan State.
