Why Wisconsin will beat Chicago State
- Wisconsin has won each of its last 12 day games against non-conference opponents at Kohl Center.
- Chicago State has lost each of its last nine games against non-conference opponents.
- Wisconsin has won the first half in 13 of its last 14 day games against non-conference opponents at Kohl Center.
Chicago State vs Wisconsin Prediction
Wisconsin comes into this matchup with an undefeated record on the season and they should roll to an easy victory here. Chicago State has not recorded a win so far this year and they are shooting just 34.4% from the field. The Badgers are the better team on both ends of the court, but with a spread this big, we have to worry about how well the backups will play. I don’t like laying this many points, but I think it is Wisconsin or pass here.
