This should be a good one tonight in Charlottesville, as the Big-10/ACC challenge brings Wisconsin in to face Virginia. The Badgers are 8-0, but at 7-1 on the season, the Cavaliers are just 3 points from perfection themselves. The Cavs like the slow tempo, and have worked for good shots with their top four scorers all shooting 51% or more. In a close game, making big shots will be crucial. The Badgers won by just 3 points at Wisconsin, Green Bay and 7 at West Virginia, and can be vulnerable here vs. a good defending team that also shoots the ball extremely well. The Badgers' close calls on the road this season are a flag here. Over their last 14 on the road vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, they have gone just 4-9-1 ATS. I think this is close, but Virginia has a better upside to knock down key shots late, so play Virginia on the moneyline.
