Prediction: After a tough loss at Duke as part of the ACC challenge, Badgers should be looking to win big, much like they did against Savannah State and Florida A&M earlier in the season. In this game I do not believe the Badgers will come out hungover, letting the opponent stay in the game in the early going. Rather, I predict that the Badgers come out, establish a lead early, and never let it go.
