My Prediction: The Badgers finally found some offense the other day against Belmont. They lost by 28 to Ohio State and only scored 33 in a loss to Penn State in their previous two games. Even though they shot 50% from the field and 12-22 from three-point land against Belmont, it was still a close game in the 2nd half. Kansas State won’t let them shoot like that again. Jacob Pullen is back for the Wildcats and he will help them create turnovers to frustrate the Badgers and advance to the Sweet 16.
Kansas State +3.5
