Wisconsin vs. Ohio State Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I wrote about why I'm betting the OVER in this Big Ten showdown:

Both Wisconsin and Ohio State have been far better offensively than defensively so far this season. Wisconsin ranks 68th in effective field goal percentage, but 151st in defensive efficiency. Ohio State ranks 39th in effective field goal percentage, but 149th in defensive efficiency. Both teams also rank in the top 60 in college basketball in Floor%, meaning a high percentage of their possessions result in at least one point being scored.

Wisconsin also plays at one of the fastest tempos in the country, ranking 87th in adjusted tempo. If they can push the Buckeyes to up their pace, this has the chance of being a high-scoring affair.

Pick: OVER 157.5 (-110)
