The Wisconsin Badgers (21-6, 11-5) look to rebound from a tough loss in Madison over the weekend against the visiting Washington Huskies (13-14, 4-12).
The Badgers squandered a 12-point halftime lead Saturday and eventually lost in overtime to the Oregon Ducks, 77-73. The loss snapped Wisconsin’s five-game win streak and eliminated any realistic regular season conference title hopes the Badgers’ may have had.
The Washington Huskies have endured a rough first season in the Big Ten. Sitting in last place in the conference, Washington has lost two in a row. Saturday, they lost at Iowa, 85-79.

Expert picks & predictions for Washington at Wisconsin
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) expects the Badgers to suffer from a bit of a hangover early in this one: Washington Team Total Under 67.5 (-115)
“Washington has the worst offensive efficiency in the BIG 10 and coming off a slew of high-scoring games, so I find this Team Total of 67.5 interesting. It’s a number they’ve gone Over in seven straight and slightly high for a Wisconsin team in a bounce back spot. The Badgers played terrific defense in the first half against the Oregon Ducks before finding every way possible to lose that game in the final minute. I expect a solid 40-minute effort from Wisconsin as -15 point favorites.”
