Wisconsin -5 @ Iowa (1 unit) Bucky Badger shot 3/28 from distance in the first meeting in Madtown on NYE in a game that played to 67 possessions. Iowa dictated tempo and took advantage of some terrible Wisconsin shooting, leading to run-outs and easy transition baskets. Keep in mind that this game occurred during Wisconsin's several game stretch in which they could not throw the ball in the ocean. Things have improved drastically since then, including an 11/22 showing from distance on Sunday against Penn State. Bo Ryan's track record on in-season revenge games is downright silly (something like 24-2?) and he has had 4 days of prep time to get ready for the Hawkeyes. If it comes down to free throws, Wisky hits at a 75% clip. No doubt, Carver-Hawkeye is a tough venue, and Iowa is a solid team at home. I backed them on Sunday against Indiana, but expecting them to play a second consecutive lights-out game is a tall order.

Not really. FAU has kind of been overvalued all year and has been one of the bigger flops in terms of preseason projections. I'd say the number looks right, I guess? Sorry I can't be of more help.

Excellent writeup on Wisc - Iowa as Wisc really struggled for 4 of the first 5. lots of talent on both sides of the ball and I have wrote an article about the over in the game on here. BOL on Wisc. and nice hit on my Minny as they are young and dont know how to win a big game yet. I think you could say the same thing as next year will be different for your school as well.

Tough call on the total. If Wisconsin is dictating pace, as I hope they will, do you think it can still go over? Iowa has some issues playing halfcourt defense and Wisconsin is very efficient, so that would certainly help. Seems it likely comes down to outside shooting. I'd lean your way if choosing a total play.
And yeah, there are brighter days ahead for SJU. No seniors and one junior, but it's still so tough to watch them put themselves on the bubble with a great February, and then lose in heart-wrenching fashion 3 days before the biggest game in my 4 years on campus. I'm not optimistic, but we'll see...

JFen, nice work man, great record this year. Do you have a lifetime record to share?
Thanks man. This is my 3rd year of capping. Didn't keep track of my record in the first year. Started posting/tracking last season in mid-December and went 164-127.

A Lifetime record????? Good Grief...Because 485 games into this year we still aren't sure if he knows what he is doing. Thanks J Fen for posting. After you get that lifetime record added up can you break it down by conferences and let me know your winning % on A-10 tournament games as well. wow!

Jfen is your Colorado Lean probably be a pick? I read that article and even though they are aware of how Altitude affects performance theyyve never played at altitude and thats got to be worth a couple points what do you think?

Not yet, but pretty close. Altitude has been a HUGE advantage for Colorado this year. Check out these results against Pac-12 opponents traveling into altitude for the first time:
1/5 Washington W 87-69 1/19 Arizona St. W 69-54 2/2 Oregon St. W 82-60
Those teams were making their first trips of the season into altitude and all were easily dispatched by the Buffs. It's also worth noting that CU hasn't played at home in 19 days, and for a team which thrives on its own floor, tonight has to be an awfully-big game.
I went back and looked at the past few seasons, and only two players (Josh Owens and Jarrett Mann) have ever played at altitude before, doing so in 2008-2009 against Colorado State.

Western Illinois +13 @ South Dakota State (1 unit)
Like the play but a little worried because WIU is on the road. This team rarely gives into the pace the other team plays but tonight I am worried. SDST is gonna want to get WIU up and down and WIU gonna want to play a half court game. If this game turns into a track meet its over. Any insight on this play? Do you feel WIU can slow the game down a little and stay within the number? They have the defender to guard Nate Wolters, in Clark III and last time out only lost by 1. Sorry may have convinced myself into a play on WIU.

So is Western Ill South Dakota St. the defense verses offense and they way they played the last game shooting almost 50% and defending 38%? I still think Wisc will score over 70 against Iowa with Iowa still having plenty of opportunities to score. Like that Wisc shot well last game as Iowa is terrible defensively and dont see how Wisc would want to even slow the game down with so many opportunies to score. I do like your Wisc play as they started the season shooting aweful 4 of first 5 games and are now getting ready for the good stuff.
