I’ve returned from going ten rounds with the flu bug, so let’s get back to the pre-game analysis. The Wisconsin Badgers host the Ohio State Buckeyes tonight at the Kohl Center. It is a 6:00 p.m. CT tilt being broadcast by ESPN.
The crystal ball battle with Ken Pomeroy also makes its triumphant return. This week, our predictions have the same winner, but mine show a larger margin of victory. Pomeroy has a 64-60 UW victory, while my predictions are 69-63 Badgers (adjusted points-per-possession) and 68-62 Badgers (component points). I hope I win this week.
Turning our attention to the detailed predictions, we see some familiar themes pop up.
