Wisconsin vs Rutgers Game Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Time:<\/strong> 7:00 PM ET \/ 4:00 PM PT

Wisconsin vs Rutgers Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does that total say 156.5 points?!? If you haven’t been paying attention to Big Ten Basketball as football season winds down, this isn’t your traditional Rutgers vs Wisconsin matchup. Since 2018, the highest closing total in a Rutgers vs Wisconsin game was 133.5 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six of the last ten meetings had a closing total in the 120s. What a difference a year makes, huh?! We’re likely to see plenty of points in this matchup, but we’re expecting to get a good performance out of Rutgers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dylan Harper (illness) missed the Scarlet Knights’ 84-74 loss at Indiana last week. Harper is expected back tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That loss to the Hoosiers doesn’t look quite so bad considering Indiana handled a good Penn State team with relative ease on Sunday. Rutgers’ other projected lottery pick, Ace Bailey, scored 39 against the Hoosiers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That tandem is as dynamic as any pairing in the Big Ten and you expect the Rutgers\u2019 role players to play better at home in this one. Rutgers is 7-0 straight-up at home this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisconsin vs Rutgers Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wisconsin seemingly couldn\u2019t miss the net in a 116-85 thrashing of Iowa on Friday. That contest produced a program record for most points scored in a conference game, and the Badgers also set a Big Ten record with 21 made three-pointers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisconsin has only played two true road games thus far and lost both of them. Rutgers has held five of its seven opponents below 65 points at the RAC this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisconsin vs Rutgers Prediction: Rutgers +1.5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
