Wisconsin Badgers @ Purdue Boilermakers College Basketball Free Pick

Wisconsin Badgers @ Purdue Boilermakers College Basketball Free Pick: I love the Badgers’ squad. They can really play tough defensively on the front lines, and if they’re hitting from the backcourt, they can beat anyone in the nation. But hey, they played PERFECT against Ohio State and I don’t think they’re going to do that again on Wednesday. They’ll have to be perfect to go on the road and beat the Purdue Boilermakers. Perfect like Purdue is at home this season, 13-0 thus far.

The Badgers are just 3-4 on the road, so home is definitely where their heart is. Purdue scores a little more by shooting a little better, and they rebound at least as well as Wisconsin does, if not a little bit better.

Expect one heck of a game, as both these teams play tough-nosed basketball – but the Boilermakers are good enough to take the Badgers by 4, especially since this is a great time to draw Wisconsin, the game after they upset previously unbeaten Wisconsin – the game after a big court-storming upset is always tough for the underdog.

All things considered, the unbelievable game the Badgers had last time out against the Nation’s #1 team, the big upset, the big comeback, the unreal performance by Mr. Taylor – I just don’t see this one going so well. Things even out in sports, and if that holds true, they’ll have a tough time putting the ball in the basket on Wednesday.

I’ll take the Purdue Boilermakers, undefeated thus far at home.
