It's not a line. It's what kenpom analytics predicts. kenpom likes Wisconsin's close losses to good team early in the year AND it doesn't know Wisconsin is dealing with injuries.

watched some of Nebraska last night. they are going to be tougher then some might expect. they have been playing very good defense.

The Nebraska team that played last night won't do so hot. They were like 2-16 from 3 and had a lot of unforced turnovers. Glen Watson and James Palmer were playing so poorly they got benched for half of the second half. If they put a lineup of Watson, Gill, Palmer, Copeland, and Roby on the floor they are really long and athletic and can all shoot the 3. Palmer at 6' 7" and Copeland at 6' 9" are matchup nightmares because of their ability to create. They are all going to half to play much better to stay competitive in the Big 10. They also played without Duby Okeke(6' 8" 250) who is strictly a shot blocker and rebounder and is probably the most imposing physical specimen in college basketball. To say he is chiseled is selling it short. Ha Nobody has said why he didn't play last night.

They can be a decent team but inconstancy has been the norm. I would say they will finish in the 5-13 area in the Big 10.
