Wisconsin Has Dominated At The Kohl Center

Wisconsin hosts Syracuse as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge in Madison on Tuesday, which could greatly benefit the Badgers. Wisconsin has won nine straight true home games, which includes going 3-0 with an average scoring margin of plus-31.7 this season.

SHARK BITES
  • Syracuse is 24-5 SU in its last 29 games against the Big Ten.
  • The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Wisconsin's last 8 games as favorite.
  • Syracuse is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games against teams with winning records.

After beating up on minor conference opponents, Syracuse looked terrible in its first real test against South Carolina. The Orange shot just 31.8 percent from the floor and racked up 17 turnovers in that game against the Gamecocks. The bright spot in that contest was Tyler Lydon, who has now tallied 32 points and 17 rebounds while shooting 7-for-10 from 3-point range in the past two.

Wisconsin will look for its first win against a ranked team this season, having already lost to Creighton and UNC. Ethan Happ has been one of the few consistent players for the Badgers, as seniors Bronson Koenig and Nigel Hayes have bounced between great and awful. In the past four games, Happ has averaged 15.0 points and 10.3 rebounds while shooting 62.5 percent from the floor.
