I really wish that Missouri State could get this matchup later on in the season because they are not at full strength right now. Missouri State rotates two big men and one of them is banged up right now (Richards). Wisconsin rotates 3 big men and they should dominate in the paint. Mo State's best scorer (Ahearn) hurt his hand in practice Tuesday night and it showed a bit vs the Div 2 school they beat that night. Also, Missouri State's forward (Bilyeu) has a bad foot right now and they have been trying to keep him off of it as much as possible. It is tough enough to play a top 10 team let alone have to do it banged up. I like Wisconsin to pull away late in the 2nd half and take this one by 7 to 10 points.
looks good hgc, i will tail you on this, because of wisconsin being 2nd to ohio st to win the big ten championship. good luck on friday. hope you had a good thanksgiving.
daddydan is on wisconsin, just have to find another play, to make it a 2 team parlay.
on the injury front HGC, Missouri State is a tough place to play at but this looks to make it easier for Wisconsin today, will tail you on the play 4 sure.
This game is on a neutral court. I thought Wisconsin was a good defensive team...they are letting Mo State have open looks and are paying for it. Richards and Bilyeu have hardly played but the backups are not having any trouble against Wisconsin. WOW!!!! Ahearn's hand does not appear to be bothering him today though as he is on fire.
Mo State shooting 64% 6-7 from 3.
Wisconsin 34% 1-8 from 3.
All I can say is wow...I am happy for the Valley team but did not see this coming.
I tailed along early this morning... Then I looked at the game myself, there was a common opponent that SMS had the advantage and it made me nervous... At halftime I was furious, with myself, so I booked Wisc. for the second half... Looking good on that play and we still got a shot. GL to us.
