In a somewhat unlikely matchup, the Wisconsin Badgers face the Michigan Wolverines on Sunday afternoon in the Big Ten tournament championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The top two seeds in the conference, Michigan State and Maryland, were ousted by these squads in the semifinals. I think Wisconsin gets it done today, and I’m backing the Badgers in a +425 parlay featuring John Blackwell and Danny Wolf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Wisconsin vs. Michigan SGP predictions for the Big Ten title game on March 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisconsin vs. Michigan predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to full college basketball betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parlay: Wisconsin ML | Blackwell over 15.5 points | Wolf over 15.5 points (+425)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisconsin moneyline (-182):<\/strong> If you’re looking for a March Madness long shot, I think Wisconsin is a team worth taking a flier on. And this run to the Big Ten tournament final shows why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Badgers looked great in Saturday’s win over top-ranked Michigan State, holding a lead for the final 15 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

True to form, Wisconsin excelled at the free-throw line (22-of-28) and committed minimal turnovers (seven).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michigan’s offence is a turnover machine, averaging 14.3 per game (343rd in NCAA Division I).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the Wolverines lost two regular season matchups against Michigan State in the past month \u2014 by a combined 30 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michigan did beat Wisconsin, mind you, but that was a 67-64 win way back in December. And the Badgers led by three in the final few minutes before producing five straight empty possessions at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NCAA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blackwell over 15.5 points (-130):<\/strong> John Tonje is the centrepiece of Wisconsin’s offence and should be the best player on the floor on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But assuming Michigan sells out to stop him, there should be plenty of offensive looks for Blackwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Big Ten all-freshmen team selection last year, Blackwell is averaging 15.4 points in Year 2 with the Badgers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had 16 points vs. Michigan on Dec. 3, and things really picked up when the calendar flipped to January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 16.2 PPG since Jan. 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 13.0 FGA<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 15+ points in 12 of 21 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Wolf over 15.5 points (-108):<\/strong> Wolf is the Big Ten’s top rebounder, but he also knows how to get buckets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Yale transfer is averaging 15.2 PPG since the start of February and has cashed this bet in four straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He shot 7-for-11 from the floor (2-for-4 from deep) in a 20-point performance against the Badgers earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The free throw shooting comes and goes, but Wolf is a 7-footer who shoots 35.0% from outside and gets plenty of looks around the rim. He’ll be tough for the Badgers to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
