Wisconsin is one of the schools that can rely on tournament experience as it demonstrated in its 84-74 win over Virginia Tech on Thursday. Senior Bronson Koenig scored 28 points, including eight three-pointers, and Nigel Hayes added 16 points for the Badgers, who came on strong in the final minutes for the win and cover. Hayes also grabbed 10 rebounds and Ethan Happ scored 10 points with eight boards. Wisconsin has won four of its last five games after a mild slump in midseason when Koenig was out. The Badgers have covered six of their last seven non-conference games and are 6-1-1 ATS their last eight NCAA tournament contests as underdogs. Villanova did not cover as a 25-point favorite against Mount St. Mary's as the Wildcats got off to a slow start and struggled to maintain intensity. Donte DiVincenzo scored 21 points, and the Wildcats shot only 36.8 percent. Wisconsin can match the defending champion defensively as each team allows nearly 41 percent shooting. Play Wisconsin.
