The Wisconsin Badgers lead the nation in allowing just 44.9 points per game<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wisconsin has officially recovered from its two-game losing streak by winning back-to-back home games over Wisconsin-Green Bay and UNLV.\u00a0 The Badgers have tallied a 6-1 ATS mark this season and the \u2018under\u2019 is 6-1 in those contests.\u00a0 Defense is the name of the game for this program, allowing opponents to score just 44.9 points per game, while also limiting foes to just 33.5 percent shooting from the floor that\u2019s third nationally.\u00a0 In 11 seasons under coach Bo Ryan, the program is 26-6 against the other three Division I teams in the state of Wisconsin, including a perfect 10-0 against Tuesday\u2019s opponent.<\/p>\n

The Badgers have totally dominated this series in winning 27 of 28 meetings, including a perfect 9-0 when playing in Milwaukee.\u00a0 Wisconsin registered a 61-40 win as 19.5-point home favorites a year ago, holding Wisconsin-Milwaukee to just 12 of 39 shooting from the floor.\u00a0 In Saturday\u2019s 62-51 win over the UNLV Rebels as 9.5-point home favorites, the Badgers held the Runnin\u2019 Rebels to a season-low 51 points, which happened to be 32 points below their season average.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin-Milwaukee returns to the U.S. Cellular Arena for a Tuesday night contest having won eight of its first 10 games.\u00a0 The Panthers are coming off a 67-51 loss to the Northern Iowa Panthers, as they\u2019ve alternated wins and losses against the spread over their last five games.\u00a0 The defending Horizon League champion is still feeling good about itself, jumping out to a 2-0 record in league play this season.\u00a0 Wisconsin-Milwaukee is 0-6 ATS when playing on Tuesday night the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Panthers have tallied a 4-13 record in their last 17 tries against ranked competition, which is much better than their 0-25 mark in their first 25 games against such opponents.\u00a0 Wisconsin-Milwaukee has played great defense through the first 10 games of the season, limiting opponents to just 38.9 percent from the field and allowing just 58.6 points a contest.\u00a0 Senior guard Kaylon Williams leads the offense, averaging 12.8 points per game, as he was picked as a preseason All-Horizon League selection at the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Badgers due to their 6-1 ATS mark versus non-conference foes, while the Panthers are 1-4 ATS in the same situation.<\/p>\n
