Obviously we all expected Wisconsin to lose a few games this season, but an Sportsbook night loss to the Western Illinois Leathernecks has the Badgers looking to avoid their first 0-2 start to a season in 20 years. Wisconsin has struggled to cover at home in recent memory too, with the Badgers just 6-11-1 ATS in their past 18 home games.
There was nothing pretty about Wisconsin’s first game, a contest that saw them shoot just 35.5 percent while allowing Western Illinois to shoot 54 percent. The Badgers also allowed WIU to go 7-for-9 from beyond the arc.
Siena opened their season with a 92-74 point loss to Duke, but there was some upside for the Saints. Four of Sienna’s starting five scored double-digits in points while shooting for a combined 57.5 percent from the floor against Duke.
