NCAAB - 12-06-2025 - PointSpreadTake Wisconsin
Wisconsin -11 looks like the right side because the Badgers have been rolling offensively and match up well against Marquette’s inconsistent shooting. Wisconsin averages 86.9 points per game while shooting 45.1% from the field, and they’ve got two reliable scorers in Nick Boyd (20.9 PPG) and John Blackwell (19.9 PPG, 6.1 RPG) who can take over stretches of a game. Nolan Winter adds balance inside with nearly a double‑double per night, and the Badgers’ ability to spread the floor with multiple shooters makes them tough to defend. Marquette, meanwhile, has struggled with efficiency, hitting just 42.6% overall and 31.1% from three, which is a dangerous weakness against a Wisconsin team that punishes mistakes and controls tempo.
Defensively, Wisconsin has enough discipline to keep Marquette from finding rhythm. The Badgers allow just 73.5 points per game and rebound well, with Winter and Blackwell anchoring the boards. Marquette leans heavily on Chase Ross and Nigel James for scoring, but Wisconsin’s length and physicality on the perimeter should make life difficult for them. Add in the home‑court edge at the Kohl Center and the fact that Wisconsin takes care of the ball — only 10 turnovers per game — and the Badgers are well positioned to cover the double‑digit spread. Their balance, efficiency, and ability to dictate pace give them the edge to win comfortably.
