My Prediction
Wisconsin Badgers by 7Saddle up, because this is going down faster than a skydiver with a lead parachute. We're looking at a spicy matchup between the Wisconsin Badgers, who have sky-high AP Poll Rankings, and the Minnesota Golden Gophers, whose AP ranking stands at a whopping... zero. In case you're wondering, yes, that's equivalent to the amount of interest your boring lawnmower presentation sparked at the last neighborhood BBQ.
The Badgers certainly have had a better season; their record stands at a solid 22-7 while the Gophers are tipping the scale at a so-so 15-14. Also, Wisconsin walked away with the W in their last four encounters with the Gophers. In the immortal words of Sherlock Holmes: "Elementary, my dear Watson."
Let's talk some player action, while hoping nobody had beans for lunch. The Badgers boast top-notch players like John Tonje and John Blackwell, both hovering around a 20-points per game average this season. A couple of Johns, creating havoc like it's the patron saint of basketball's day. The Gophers, on the other hand, rely heavily on Dawson Garcia and Lu'Cye Patterson who've had commendable performances as well, specifically Garcia who's been banging in almost 20 points per game.
The recent games have seen the Badgers performing consistently, keeping their loss margin close even when they fall short, unlike the Gophers who seem to have had as much consistency as a politician's promise.
With all this said, don't be surprised if the Badgers chew up the Golden Gophers faster than a toddler on a chocolate bar. They certainly seem ready to keep their winning romp going, and the Gophers, well, are probably going to stay in their burrow for this one.
