Chicago State vs Wisconsin Game Information

Chicago State vs Wisconsin Preview

The best game on the betting board in any sports this Saturday is this non-conference matchup between unbeaten and No. 15 Wisconsin (7-0, 5-0 at Home) and winless Chicago State (0-8, 0-4 on Road). The Badgers have beaten a couple of good teams already (ARIZ, PITT) and have been scoring a lot of points and have been a great Over team to start this 2024-25 NCAA Basketball season, playing 7 Overs in the 7 lined games. After showing some small signs of improvement last season, the Cougars have regressed into a team that gets beaten up every game and one of the best teams to bet against in College Basketball.

Chicago State to Get Absolutely Shredded in Madtown

Chicago State (2-6-0 ATS, 5-3-0 O/U) has already lost by 12 to Drexel (83-71), by 15 to Radford in a free pick we nailed for you here on Monday (63-46), by 20 points to Youngstown State (80-60), by 47 points at Texas (105-68), by 45 points at San Francisco (82-37), by 20 to Eastern Kentucky (86-66), and by 36 points to Indiana State (97-61) this season, so why not keep fading these rats in November and December? The Cougars are led in scoring by G Gabe Spinelli (8.4 ppg,) G Saxby Sunderland (7.5 ppg), G Jalen Forrest (9.5 ppg), G Matthew Robinson (6.9 ppg), F Cameron Jernigan (6.1 ppg), Troy McKay Jr. (6.8, 3.8 rpg), and F Quincy Allen (6.8 ppg, 3.8 rpg), so with no one in double-digits, you can see why CSU keeps losing by so many points.

No. 15 Wisconsin Poised for a 40-point Win Here

Wisconsin (4-2-1 ATS, 7-0-0 O/U) has gone from a slower paced low-scoring team to a roadrunner, averaging 86.9 ppg (#27) and allowing only 71.6 ppg heading to this Big Ten-NEC conference mismatch in America’s Dairyland. After beating Appalachian State by 29 (87-58) and Arizona by 15 (103-88), the Badgers have only won their last three games by 3 (RGV, 87-84), by 16 (UCF, 86-70), and by 6 points (PITT, 81-75), but Chicago State is a different kind of limping animal and rank No.361 (of 264 DI teams) in the current Ken Pomeroy Ratings. If the Badgers (#30 KenPom) aren’t up by 20 after 20 minutes, something is really wrong at the Kohl Center. John Tonje (23.0 ppg, 5.4 rpg), John Blackwell (16.0 ppg, 4.4 rpg), Max Kiesmit (12.4 ppg), and Nolan Winter (9.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg) should all feast here vs. the Cougars.

Wisconsin Betting Trends

• Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS over its last 5 dribbles
• The Over is 9-1-0 in the Badgers last 10 games overall
• The Badgers last Home loss came to Illinois on March 2 
• The Over is 6-0 in Wisconsin’s last 6 Home games
• Wisconsin is 3-0 lifetime vs CSU, winning by 37, 12, and 18 points 

Chicago State vs Wisconsin Prediction

This Chicago State vs Wisconsin prediction and free NCAAB pick will do the obvious: bet on the good team and bet against the really bad one. Last year in this game at Madison, Wisconsin shot 50% from the floor while the Cougars were just 31.7% (and 15.8% on Three-Pointers). This year, less competitive than 2023-24, Chicago State allows 84.4 ppg, ranks No. 352 in Rebounds Per Game (32.8), No. 205 in Points Per Game, and an abysmal No. 439 in Assists Per Game (8.9). Chicago State may be the Kent State of College Hoops. Last year, the Badgers covered the 24-Point Spread (80-53), winning by 27 and this year it should be a little worse for The Little Engine That Couldn’t from Chicago. This looks like a 95-55 or 85-45 type of slaughter.
