Will BYU’s Underdog Bet Pay Off Against the Dominant Badgers?
Wisconsin comes into the game as the 23rd–ranked team in the nation. They have started their season with a soft schedule, as most teams do, and walked their way to a 4-0 record. Today will be their first true test of the season. They opened the year with an easy win over Campbell, then faced Northern Illinois and beat them by 25. The next two games were also some games, and they beat Ball State by 31, and SIU Edwardsville by 25. While I recognize some value in having easy games to start the year, I also wonder just how prepared players are getting for games like this when they have to face the likely #1 overall draft pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. The Wisconsin team had a nice enough recruiting class with three four-star recruits and a good handful of players coming over in the transfer portal. They still lost their best player to the NBA, and another one of their leading scorers to the G-League (I think).
