Dan Behringer Las Vegas Review-Journal, 4-10 (overall record)

Today’s best bet: Michigan State-WISCONSIN (Under 126)

The two coaches, Michigan State’s Tom Izzo and Wisconsin’s Bo Ryan, teach defense and their teams typically play tough, low-scoring games. The Spartans won the first meeting 54-47 on Jan. 6, and this matchup in Madison, Wis., should be similar. The Badgers went under the total in seven of their nine Big Ten games, and Michigan State is 6-3 under the total in league play.
