ASA CBB FREE PICK on Wisconsin vs Michigan State, Friday at 6:30 PM ET

*This play is contingent on Johnny Davis playing for Wisconsin.*  As of now it looks like he will play but might not be 100% and could be on a minute count.  We are going to make sure he’s in the line up before playing this one.  The Badgers are not the slow paced team that many still make them out to be.  They are ranked 5th in pace in the Big 10 this season.  MSU likes to get up and down the court (129th nationally in pace) as well so we look for this game to have plenty of possessions.  These 2 met twice this year with wildly different results.  In the first meeting MSU won 86-74 (162 total points) and Sparty shot lights out hitting over 50% of their shots.  In round 2 Wisconsin went to Michigan State and won the game 70-62 (132 total points) and the two teams combined to shoot 44% from the field but just 28% from beyond the arc and they still nearly reached tonight’s number of 136.  Both teams excel from the FT line (both make 75%) which lends to a higher scoring game as well.  Wisconsin games have reached at least 135 points in 6 of their last 7 games.  MSU games have reached at least 140 total points in 6 of their last 7 games.  These 2 teams are a combined 36-25-1 to the OVER this season.  We like this one Over the total.
