They have yet to beat any opponent on their own home floor in regulation this year.
Despite playing with 73-61 home loss revenge I simply can't see this Michigan squad being competitive on the road.
A main reason is they really underperform offensively away from home. In Big 10 games they have produced 60 in overtime, 70 in overtime, 49, 54, 58, 51 and 72 points in overtime.
Wisconsin has a pretty good chance to end the regular season with 20 victories. They need home wins over Michigan and Indiana with a road victory at Minnesota. They have won five of their last six games with only a loss at Michigan State keeping them from bringing a solid winning streak into this affair.
I look for the Wisconsin defense which has held six straight opponents to 61 points or less to dominate this game.
