Wisconsin Badgers (20-8)
Since coach Bo Ryan took over the program before the 2001-02 season, the Badgers have accumulated 47 road wins in conference play and 61 overall – both marks are the best in the Big Ten over that time. One problem area recently has been Wisconsin’s renowned defense, which has allowed two of its last three opponents to shoot 48 percent or better from the field after not allowing a single opponent to shoot that well over its first 25 games. The Badgers have been hitting it really well lately as they hit at least 37.5 percent of their 3-pointers in consecutive games for only the second time in conference play.
The Badgers (51.7 points allowed per game and 27.9 percent 3-point shooting) are on pace to break their modern-day school records in scoring and 3-point field-goal percentage defense.
Ohio State Buckeyes (23-5)
The Buckeyes are in the top 10 in several NCAA statistical categories – second in scoring margin (plus – 17.9) fourth in turnover margin (plus – 4.9) and eighth in scoring defense (57.1 points per game). Ohio State also allows its opponents 0.86 points per possession – the best mark in the nation. In Ohio State’s earlier victory over Wisconsin, sophomore standout Jared Sullinger controlled the paint early and often, scoring 16 first-half points en route to posting one of his five double-doubles in Big Ten play.

Wyoming Cowboys (18-8)
After shooting 1 of 10 against the Aztecs in January, JayDee Luster – a San Diego native would love to rebound with a strong showing in his hometown. The senior guard leads the Mountain West in assist-turnover ratio (2.3) and ranks sixth in assists (3.6). Guard Luke Martinez averages 12.8 points, and he scored 15 on five 3-pointers in the Cowboys’ 54-46 loss at Colorado State on Saturday.
Forward Leonard Washington, with 12 points and 8 rebounds during the first matchup with San Diego state, has an average of 12.5 points and a team-high 6.7 boards. Wyoming is 5-7 in games decided by fewer than 10 points, and the Cowboys have led at halftime in each of their last three losses.

Free March Madness Picks Wisconsin Badgers and Iowa Hawkeyes

Glancing back to history, the Iowa Hawkeyes has never beaten No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers twice in the same season since 1995, but the Hawkeyes are in a place for the sweep after stunning the Badgers in Madison 72-65 on December 31.
It seems that the Wisconsin Badgers are doomed in the first meeting, they were at 34.8 percent from the field. The Haweyes and Badgers have been polar opposites this season. The Iowa is riding with the Big Ten’s third-ranked scoring offense and Wisconsin is comfortably atop the conference in scoring defense.
The Badgers have been one of the league’s best teams on the road, having a 6-3 record in true away games.

Wisconsin Badgers (20-7)
The Badgers have one of the most effective defensive teams in the country, leading Division 1 in points allowed (51.1) and ranking fourth in field-goal percentage defense (36.3). Their offense, however, has not been as productive as in years past. Part of that is because of a tempo that creates fewer possessions per game at 59.3 than any other teams in the country, but the Badgers shoots at only 42.3 percent from the floor (11th in the Big Ten) and its free-throw percentage is at 73.4 has dropped significantly from last year’s NCAA-best figure of 81.8 percent. The Hawkeyes are 48-26 against the Badgers in Iowa City, but the Badgers have won three of the last four meetings there.
Iowa Hawkeyes (14-13)
Ranking third in the league the Hawkeyes are at a score of 73.6, but one thing may be certain as their lineup may be weakened without the services of senior point guard Bryce Cartwright who suffered an injured ankle and junior guard Eric with an injured back, both whom are questionable. Senior guard Matt Gatens (14.8 points) scored a career-high 30 in the win over Indiana and totaled 51 points, including 12-for-17 3-point shooting, in his last two games. Despite their defensive struggles (72.1 points allowed), Hawkeyes average a Big Ten-best of 7.9 steals. Iowa leads the series 78-77.

The 8th seeded Wright State Raiders will be giving the 5th seeded Butler Bulldogs a visit this evening in the first round of the 2012 Horizon League Tournament.
Wright State ended the regular season with a subpar 13-18 overall record and a 7-11 mark in the Horizon League. The Raiders cost themselves a higher seed by struggling mightily in the last two month of the season, winning just 5 out of their 15 games since January 6. They did not perform so well on the road either, with 4-10 away from the Nutter Center.

Butler lost on the tie breakers on the third and fourth seeds to Detroit and Milwaukee respectively. In the past two years in a row, the Bulldogs have always reached the finals of the NCAA Tournament but they had a down season by having a 18-13 overall record.
When it comes to an all-time series with the Wright State, the Bulldogs owns an advantage (26-16) which includes wins in 10 of the last 11 matchups. The Bulldogs and Raiders met in the HL Tournament title tilt as the top two seeds in 2010 with the Bulldogs coming out on top in a 70-45 final.
The offense of Wright State is not something to be proud of as it ranks next to the last in both points per game at 58.2 and field goal percentage at 0.399. It hasn’t been better either and it has put up 56 points or fewer in 9 out of its last 12 games. Julius Mays is the lone bright spot for the Raider’s offense as he leads the team in scoring (14.2 ppg), assists (2.5 apg), steals (1.4 spg), free-throw percentage (.837) and three-pointers (48). Wright State has been able to manage marginal success this season behind the strength of its second-ranked defense, as it gives up just 61.2 ppg to its opponents.
Write State would have to work harder with their defense since the Bulldogs have a better chance of outscoring them.

March Madness Betting Picks for Baylor Bears and Texas Longhorns
After embarrassing losses over the weekend, both teams welcome their “Big Monday” showdown but the question is who will take the game victory? The 10th ranked Bears fell at home to Kansas State in a game that came down to the final seconds, while the Longhorns ran into a buzzsaw at Oklahoma State and lost in a rout. The two teams have met each year except on 1908, when Texas didn’t field a team ever since the series started in 1906.
The loss has cost Texas greatly, which requires all the wins it can get as it pursues a 14th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. A resume-boosting upset of the Bears on national TV would go a long way towards helping the Longhorn’s case.

Baylor Bears (22-5)
On Saturday, for the first time this season, the Bears fell to a team other than Missouri or Kansas. In a rigorous attempt at defense, Baylor lost 58-57 to Kansas State despite having multiple chances in the final minute to win the game. The closet setback was out of character for the Bears, who have been great in tight contests this season with a 7-2 record in games decided by five points or less. Sophomore Perry Jones III will look to bounce back from a four-point, four-rebound performance in which he fouled out. Baylor is 4-0 against Big 12 schools from the state of Texas this season. The Bears are 20-0 when leading at halftime.
Texas Longhorns (17-10)
If the Longhorns hope to make the NCAA tournament then they better puck up a marquee victory. A trip to Kansas will close the regular season, but this matchup seems like a much more likely chance to a win. JCovan Brown, the Big 12’s leading scorer, had 32 points in Texas’ last meeting with Baylor, a 76-71 loss.
Including that game, Brown averaged 21.6 points over a seven-game stretch. The Freshman point guard Myck Kabongo is coming off a career –high 22-point outing.

However, the Lumberjacks are leading the conference in assists, managing to have an average of 14.1 per game as a team. Junior point guard Stallon Saldivar (6.6 ppg, 5.1 apg) has not been exactly a great scorer but has led the teams high rate of assists and is tied for second in the conference overall in the category heading into the season finale. Saldivar had only seven points and three assists against Montana. Freshman guard James Douglas (12.2 ppg) gives a bit of home for Northern Arizona in the future as the squad’s leading scorer this year.
Montana State on the other hand is scoring 70.3 points per game, while shooting 42.4 percent from the floor. On defense the Bobcats leave something to be desire as they allow 72.3 points per game. Junior guard Xavier Blount (11.7 ppg) is the leading scorer but he has missed 3 games due to injuries. Jeff Budinich has 4.5 ppg and was the only player with double figures as put in 11 points, Shawn Reid at 10.4 ppg and Christian Moon at 10.2 ppg provide some offensive relief.
