The Wisconsin Badgers have won 42 consecutive home games against unranked non-conference opponents<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wisconsin-Green Bay tallied a pair of wins at home against Horizon League opponents and will now break away to play a pair of difficult non-conference road games against Wisconsin and Marquette.\u00a0 The Phoenix are 1-16 all-time against the Badgers, including an 0-14 mark in games played in Madison.\u00a0 Including their next two road games, Green Bay\u2019s first six road opponents are a combined 46-10 in 2011-12.\u00a0 Over the last two-plus years, the program is 17-13 ATS on the road and the \u2018under\u2019 is 17-11 in those contests.<\/p>\n

The Phoenix are led offensively by center Alec Brown, who is averaging 13.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, scoring 14 or more points in six games this season.\u00a0 Wisconsin-Green Bay has covered the last two meetings, including a 70-56 loss last year as 20.5-point road underdogs.\u00a0 Brown scored 18 points and eight rebounds in that game as a freshman.\u00a0 For the second straight season, a true freshman started the opener for the team, with Keifer Sykes running the point and averaging 5.9 points, 2.0 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin dropped a pair of games against ranked competition last week, including a 61-54 defeat in Madison to Marquette that ended the team\u2019s 23-game home winning streak.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s two pretty good teams last week,\u201d stated Badgers coach Bo Ryan.\u00a0 The Badgers defense is still leading the nation in allowing just 44.5 points per game, while ranking third in limiting foes to 33 percent shooting.\u00a0 In 11 seasons under Ryan, the program is 156-12 at the Kohl Center, including 42 consecutive wins against unranked non-conference foes.\u00a0 Wisconsin is 3-1 ATS as a favorite this year.<\/p>\n

The Badgers are led offensively by senior guard Jordan Taylor, who averages 12.1 points and was picked as a Preseason AP All-American.\u00a0 He has really come on over the past four games, averaging 16.0 points per game, while still possessing a fantastic 3.4 assist-to-turnover ratio.\u00a0 Wisconsin is a perfect 8-0 inside tonight\u2019s venue in this series under Ryan\u2019s direction, winning those games by an average of 16.0 points.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Phoenix due to their 7-1 ATS mark in the last eight meetings, while the Badgers are just 8-8 ATS after scoring 60 points or less.<\/p>\n
