ANALYSIS

We are backing No. 24 Wisconsin against an Ohio State squad that remains winless in Quad 1 games (0-7) and is missing star guard John Mobley Jr. (15.1 PPG) due to a confirmed hand injury. The Badgers are currently the hottest team in the Big Ten, arriving in Columbus after back-to-back 92-point performances and top-10 wins over Illinois and Michigan State. Led by Big Ten Player of the Week Nick Boyd (27 PPG over his last two), our offense is primed to exploit a Buckeyes defense that surrendered 92 points in our previous meeting on January 31.
Key Data
OSU 0-7 Quad 1 record; Wisconsin averaging 88 PPG last 4 games; Mobley Jr (15.1 PPG) OUT.

OUTCOME

Wisconsin Badgers 69 - Ohio State Buckeyes 86
Graded from ESPN final score
