Can the Badgers finish their non-conference schedule strong with a win on Sunday?
Fresh off an 83-74 win over the Butler Bulldogs, the Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the Detroit Mercy Titans, with tip-off set for 1:00 p.m. at the Kohl Center on Sunday.
The Badgers had a strong start to the season, winning their first eight games, but a three-game losing streak saw them fall from No. 11 in the AP Top 25 to unranked currently.
They didn’t have a game this week after beating Butler last weekend, pulling off the victory as a part of the Indy Classic, thanks to a 20-point performance from forward Nolan Winter.
Now, they head into the final game of their non-conference schedule on Sunday, taking on Detroit Mercy as a healthy favorite. FanDuel Sportsbook currently lists the Badgers as 30.5-point favorites ahead of tip-off.
Detroit Mercy comes into Sunday with a 5-8 record, and they average 70.2 points per game, with guard Orlando Lovejoy and Mak Manciel leading the way with 13+ points per game.
Being 30.5-point favorites, can the Badgers finish their non-conference schedule strong with a blowout win on Sunday?
