Last Bet - February 20, 2024 (Maryland Team Total Under 61.5 points)

YTD Last Bet: 4-2, 66.7%, up 1.6039 units

Today's Last Bet: Maryland Under 61.5 points (DraftKings -105)

Full disclosure: I'm terrible at Wisconsin ATS picks, first time attempting a team total this year. Badgers have dropped 5 of 6, gave up 88 points in OT to Iowa on Saturday. Most points allowed this year by the Badgers in a Big 10 game, only Arizona has scored more against Wisconsin. I have a ton of respect for Greg Gard as a HC, his comments after the game likely set the tone for tonight:

"Riddle we couldn't solve today."

"We could never get our heels dug in."

"They constantly had us off balance, and we could never get enough stops." 

"Defensively is where a lion's share of this game, in terms of the faults that we had, will be assessed at." 

Translation: I expect the Badgers to be focused on that end of the floor tonight. 

Maryland is the 2nd lowest scoring team in the Big 10 this year averaging 66.6 points per game.
