Wisconsin (18-5) got off to a rocky start in Big 10 play, but they have really gotten back on track, as they have won 6 straight and 2 of those wins were against ranked teams. Ohio State (19-3) has won 4 straight and much like the Badgers in their streak they have beaten 2 ranked teams. This game is all about offense vs. defense, as the Buckeyes rank 27th in the nation in scoring and the Badgers lead the nation in defense only giving up an average of 49.5 ppg. OSU is 7-2 in Big 10 play and Wisconsin is 7-3 and the Badgers can pull into a first place tie with the Buckeyes with a home win on Saturday afternoon.

Last season these 2 rivals split the 2 games they played with each winning on their home floor.

In their last games Wisconsin was on the road and beat Penn State 52-46 and Ohio State was at home and beat a ranked Michigan team 64-49.

This season Ohio State is 11-6 ATS with an O/U record of 8-7 and Wisconsin is 12-8 ATS with an O/U record of 7-13.

The main goal for the Badgers and their great defense will be to try to contain Player of the Year candidate Jared Sullinger (17.1 ppg 9.1 rpg), who leads OSU in both scoring and rebounding. He has shot at least 50% from the field in 4 of his last 5 games and Wisconsin has to make him take tough shots and not let him get deep in the paint.

G William Buford (15 ppg) is the Buckeyes 2nd leading scorer and if he can knock down some outside J’s it will open up the lane for Sullinger.

Sullinger, Buford, and Deshaun Thomas (14.6 ppg) are the 3 players for the Buckeyes that are averaging in double figures and if Wisconsin can keep them from having big games they have a legit shot in this big conference game.

The Badgers are led by G Jordan Taylor (14.1 ppg) and F/C Jared Berggren (10.6 ppg 4.9 rpg). Taylor has to slow the pace of the game, as there is no way they can run and gun with the Buckeyes. Berggren and F Ryan Evans (9.8 ppg 6.7) also really have to hit the boards, as OSU is a much better rebounding team.

OSU is not only solid on offense, but they also have the nation’s 7th ranked defense.

In some betting trends for this Big 10 match up Ohio State is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games, 2-2 ATS in their last 4 road games, and they have an Over record of 4-3-2 in their last 9 games.

Wisconsin is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games and they have an Under record of 3-2 in their last 5 games.

Indiana Hoosiers vs Michigan Wolverines ATS


No. 17 Indiana Hoosiers vs. No. 22 Michigan Wolverines

NCAA Basketball Point Spread: OFF O/U OFF

Projected Odds: Michigan has lost 3 of their last 5 games, but they are at home and will be favored in this game, but not by much. Check back to Coopers Pick on early Wednesday for the lines to this Big 10 game.

Futures Odds to win NCAA Championship:  Indiana 41.00 / Michigan 61.00

Both Indiana (17-5) and Michigan (16-6) have been up and down in the last few games with Indiana winning 2 of their last 3 games after their 3-game losing streak and Michigan at 3-3 in their last 6 games. The Wolverines are faring better in Big 10 play at 6-3 with the Hoosiers at 5-5. Michigan will have to play good D in this game, as Indiana has the nation’s 14th highest scoring team and they rank 3rd in the nation in team FG%. The Hoosiers blew up for 103 points in their last game and that does not bode well for a Wolverines team that only ranks 186th in the nation in scoring.

These 2 teams met at Indiana on January 5th and the Hoosiers beat the Wolverines 73-71.

In their last games Indiana beat Iowa 103-89 and Michigan lost to Ohio State 64-49.

This season Indiana is 11-6 ATS with an O/U record of 11-5 and Michigan is 10-8-1 ATS with an O/U record of 10-8.

Indiana has a great frontcourt with 6’11” freshman Cody Zeller (15.2 ppg 6/1 rpg) and 6’9” Christian Watford (12.7 ppg 5.7 rpg). Watford went for 25 points in the earlier match up with the Wolverines and overall the Hoosiers shot lights out in the game with a FG% of 55.1% and they buried 7 of their 11 3-pointers and if that happens again Michigan will lose.

While the Hoosiers are led by their backcourt the Wolverines are led by their backcourt with Tim Hardaway Jr. (15.2 ppg) and Trey Burke (14.1 ppg). This duo was 11/34 in the earlier loss to the Hoosiers and it does not need to be said they need to shoot the rock better this time around. On the other side if the coin Zeller and Watford were a combined 16/21 from the field in the match up earlier this month.

The Wolverines settled for too many jumpers in the earlier match up with the Hoosiers only getting to the free throw line 11 times in the game. This Wednesday night at home they have to attack the rim and get some easy points from the charity stripe.

In some betting trends for this Big 10 match up Indiana is 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games, and in their last 10 games they have an Over record of 7-2-1.

Michigan is 3-2-1 ATS in their last 6 games and in their last 10 games they have an Under record of 7-3.

Notre Dame Uconn Huskies Pick Against the Spread

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. No. 19 UCONN Huskies – SUN NCAAB Preview  
NCAA Basketball Point Spread: OFF O/U OFF

Projected Odds: Even though UCONN has lost 2 straight and Notre Dame has won 2 straight I think the Huskies will be favored in this home game by around 7-8 points. Check back to Coopers Pick on early Sunday for the lines to this Big East game.


Futures Odds to win NCAA Championship:  UCONN 16.00 / Notre Dame 251.00

UCONN (14-5) has lost 2 straight and both losses were against unranked teams. To get back on track they will have to beat a Notre Dame (13-8) team that has won 2 in a row including handing Syracuse their first loss of the season. The Irish have a better Big East record than the Huskies (5-3, 4-3), but they are still on the bubble of the Big Dance and may get off it with a win over a ranked UCONN team in their house.
Last season Notre Dame beat UCONN twice and in both games the Huskies were ranked. However, in their last win Syracuse crushed Notre Dame 67-53.
In their last games Notre Dame beat Notre Dame 55-42 while UCONN lost to Tennessee 60-57.
This season Notre Dame is 5-8-2 ATS and they have an O/U record of 3-12 and UCONN is 6-9 ATS with an O/U record of 5-10.
The Fighting Irish has to forget about their loss a couple weeks back to UCONN where they stunk up the court shooting 32.3% from the floor, only shot a 3-pt FG% of 23.1%, and they were out-rebounded 42-30.
Tim Abromaitis is out for the season with a torn ACL and he has been missed as the team’s leading scorer and 2nd leading rebounder. Now the leading scorer for the Irish is Eric Atkins (12.9 ppg) and in the game against UCONN earlier this season he played well, but no other starter shot at least 50% from the floor. Atkins must play well and get some help from Jerian Grant (12.8 ppg) and Jack Cooley (10.9 ppg).

Cooley (8.5 rpg) also has to step up on the boards and some other players have to step up on the glass as well since UCONN ranks 30th in the nation in rebounds per game while Notre Dame only ranks 181st.


UCONN has struggled to shoot the rock in their last couple of games, especially in the loss to Tennessee, and leading scorer Jeremy Lamb (17.9 ppg) and Shabazz Napier (14.8 ppg) have been playing well they have had to do it all. This G duo needs some scoring from the frontcourt or the Irish will pack the perimeter to keep these guys in check.

4 players for the Huskies scored in double figures in the earlier win over the Irish with Lamb only going for 6 points and if that happens again Notre Dame will be going home with a loss. 
In some betting trends for this Big East match up Notre Dame is 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games and in their last 5 games the posted total has gone Under every time.


UCONN is 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games and they have an Under record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.
