Wisconsin Badgers at Michigan Wolverines
Both Wisconsin and Michigan will be trying to bounce back from tough losses. The Badgers lost at home to Michigan State earlier this week when a tying three-pointer in overtime was controversially waved off. The Wolverines were edged 73-71 at undefeated Indiana.
Wisconsin had won 12 of 14 and six in a row, but the losing streak is now at two. The heartbreaker against Michigan State was preceded by a 72-65 home loss to Iowa on New Year's Eve.
Michigan had won seven straight--including two in the Big Ten--prior to giving Indiana a real scare. Part of the reason for their strong season is the play of backup senior guard Stu Douglass. Douglass struggled with his shot early but he is six for nine from three-point range over his last two games and he contributed 11 points against the Hoosiers.
"The mentality now is that every time I shoot it, I think it's going in," Douglass said. "That's what I have to have for this team, that's my role, and I haven't been doing that. Luckily, that's coming back."
The Wolverines have lost 10 in a row to Wisconsin, last winning in January of 2006. This could be the time when they finally get over the hump.
Pick: Michigan
Maryland Terrapins at North Carolina State Wolfpack
Maryland (seven in a row) and N.C. State (five in a row) will be bringing a combined 12-game winning streak into Sunday's ACC opener, although it has mostly come against inferior competition to what they will be facing in each other in this one.
Interestingly, this is the Terrapins' first true road game of the entire season. They are 9-1 at home and 1-2 in neutral-site contests. The Wolfpack, on the other hand, will be right in their comfort zone as they are off to a 9-2 start at home.
While Maryland owns a nice 10-3 record, there are more questions than answers surrounding the squad, which is now coached by first-year head man Mark Turgeon and one that has earned only two of its victories by double-digits.
“I am very proud of how we’ve won close games,” Turgeon said. "My concern is our inexperience and our commitment to doing it right every time. They’re looking at me like I’m absolutely crazy every day in practice about doing it right every time. I was hoping we could learn that from winning. We might have to get our tail kicked to figure that out. I hope I’m wrong.”
The Terps may get their tail kicked venturing into hostile territory at N.C. State.
Pick: N.C. State
