Nittany Lions host Badgers in Big Ten brawl
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
01/31/2012 -
University Park, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - One of five teams from the Big Ten
Conference currently ranked in the top-25, the 19th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers
take on the Penn State Nittany Lions at the Bryce Jordan Center in Happy
Valley tonight.
Since losing three straight games to conference foes, the Badgers have gotten
back on track and are currently enjoying a five-game win streak thanks to a
57-50 triumph over Indiana on January 26 at the Kohl Center in Madison. With
the triumph, Wisconsin is also tied with Michigan for third place in the
league standings at 6-3, trailing only Ohio State and Michigan State coming
into the week.
As for the Nittany Lions, the team bringing up the rear in the standings at a
mere 2-7, they were beaten up by Ohio State last week in a 78-54 loss in
Columbus. The defeat was the second in a row and the fifth in the last six
outings for the program, and PSU is now the only team in the Big Ten with a
losing record overall at 10-12.
Wisconsin leads the all-time series between the programs by a mark of 26-10,
but the most recent matchup went to Penn State by a score of just 36-33 during
the Big Ten Conference Tournament last season at Conseco Fieldhouse in
Indianapolis. The Nittany Lions have won two of the last three meetings after
losing 12 in a row to the Badgers.
Ben Brust came off the bench to score a game-high 13 points for the Badgers,
leading four players in double figures, as the squad posted the seven-point
home win against the Hoosiers last week. Ryan Evans came up a rebound short of
a double-double as he tallied 12 points, followed by Mike Bruesewitz and
Jordan Taylor with 10 points apiece, the latter missing all five of his three-
point tries and converting just 5-of-14 from the floor overall. The Badgers
don't have a spectacular offense by any means, with only Taylor (13.9 ppg) and
Jared Berggren (10.6 ppg) scoring in double figures through 22 games, but the
defense is certainly one that everyone should take notice of because the group
leads the nation in points allowed still at a mere 49.6 ppg. Opponents have
connected on only 36.3 percent from the field and 26.8 percent behind the
three-point line, marks that are also some of the best in the country.
For the third straight game, the Nittany Lions were limited to a mere 54
points and for the second consecutive outing they lost by double figures, this
time bowing to OSU last week on the road. Tim Frazier was again the leading
scorer for PSU with his 16 points, but he reached that number only after
shooting 6-of-17 from the floor, followed by Jermaine Marshall and Cammeron
Woodyard with 14 and 10 points, respectively, which means the rest of the unit
combined for a mere 14 points. Even though the wins have been few and far
between of late, Frazier continues to be the one who tries to do it all for
the Lions, from his team-leading 17.9 ppg, to 4.9 rpg and a total of 139
assists and 48 steals, all of which pace the program. Marshall chips in
another 10.0 ppg, but his 35.6 percent shooting from the floor better
represents the team's overall accuracy of just 38.3 percent through 22 games.

Eastern Conference Playoff Betting Trends

For the inaugural games of the first round, 69% of the early money is on Toronto -4.5; 59% of bettors prefer Chicago -4.5; 84% are backing Detroit -9; and 56% think Cleveland -11.5 is the way to go. As far as TOTALS are concerned, the only UNDER the “public” is backing is the Cleveland/ Washington game in which 83% are pounding the UNDER (190). Remember, there is no better way to predict a possible line change than by monitoring MySportsbook.com’s “Betting Trends”. By determining who the “public” is backing, you can get the most ideal line for your bet. For example, if you are siding with the public you better place your bet before the line moves in the wrong direction. On the other side of the coin, if you prefer the team that the “public” is betting against; you might be able to get and extra ½ or even more by placing your bet a bit later. Under the “Betting Trends” section, Sportsbook.com also provides plenty of statistical data and trends in order for the bettor to make the most informed pick.
