5:30 PM, Green Bay vs Wisconsin, Big Ten Network
Both Wisconsin and Green Bay have suffered bad seasons so far. Green Bay is 5-7 (3-7 against Division I opponents) and Wisconsin is 5-7. Just a game between two 5-7 teams from Wisconsin, right? Well, one is in the Big Ten and the home to Ethan Happ and the other just lost to Indiana State by 22. This game serves to give Wisconsin a win at a home before the break to bolster their spirits and add a W to their record. Wisconsin needs to come out and run their offense and not settle for threes.
Prediction: Wisconsin 67-54 (W for Wisconsin)
