Tickets are going for $1 or $6 for center court lower bowl, if you haven't already been offered a pair for free. My rallying cry to get out and support the team against Rutgers was rewarded with Michigan basketball's lowest point in my lifetime, followed by a presser that somehow brought it even lower. Alex has a full autopsy coming tomorrow afternoon.
I worked on the Washington UFR instead of writing a Wisconsin preview, which was a good move because just making the charts reminded me how much I despise Wisconsin basketball. But I do like making charts, so here you go.
[AFTER THE JUMP: Some diagrams only.]
THE US

faq for these graphics
Cyans added. Could be the guys above or all walk-ons, who knows.
THE LINEUP CARD
My graphic [click for big]:
Tyler Wahl's free throw rate in the Big Ten, which has the lowest free throw rate among major conferences despite having Zach Edey in the conference, is 68%, versus 47% in the nonconference. As a team the Badgers are getting to the line as often as Purdue, which again, has Zach Edey on it.
THE SECTION WHERE I PREDICT THE SAME THING KENPOM DOES
Wisconsin by a touchdown.

Far better usage of your time to produce the UFR’s. Thanks Seth.

Seems like it's free money to take Wisc and the points.
Or better yet, wait until M leads at halftime and THEN take Wisc and the points. I think you can make a killing fading M in the second half.

That fool’s gold 3-0 start is screwing up our KenPom rating for the season.
Postgame Edit: well, they shut me up tonight, at least. Well done, guys.

Same, wondering when Kenpom is going to catch up to our performances.

Raw talent between players on each team is just about equal. However, WI is a well coached team and will most likely whip Michigan at home.

Brightside: it is a good time to take your kid and several of their friends to see their first Michigan game. You can get several seats for what a stadium beer costs (to be clear: I am not recommending any of you degenerates drink while taking your friends' kids to a game).

How do you tell if the cyan mean offensive or defensive liability?

If it’s on the left, it’s offense. On the right for defense.
I could be wrong.

I'm in Utah (no legal gambling). Who can I trust to Venmo some cash to smash the halftime lead, FT loss for me?

How in the world is this only a 5.5pt spread? I don't bet but I'd take Wisky if they were laying 10pts.
