Wisconsin has one of the better defenses in all of college basketball. Counter to that is an offense that is completely outclassed. This has been a source of CBB betting frustration all season. Of major concern is how this half of a team can make the NCAA Tournament come March. Purdue is also a strong defensive team with an inconsistent offense. Their recent 71-42 win over Michigan State stunned the college basketball nation. Most important of all it’s the type of quality win that could get their ticket punched in March. It illustrated a complete defensive clinic!
