The 14th-raned Wisconsin Badgers (24-7) will be on upset watch when they take on the Colgate Raiders (23-11) on Friday. The Badgers are the better team, but a few key factors give Colgate a strong chance.

Colgate is a veteran team with a combination of size and shooting that creates a matchup problem for anyone in Wisconsin outside of Johnny Davis. The most significant X-factor in favor of the Raiders is that they can outscore the Badgers.

Colgate can shoot 3-pointers better than Wisconsin, can rebound as well as Wisconsin and can physically match Wisconsin. Davis will be a problem for the Raiders. But that does not mean much if the Raiders are scoring more from 3-point range than Davis can score alone.

March Madness is built for teams like Colgate to be competitive with a team like Wisconsin, but Colgate can be more than competitive. This March Madness, Colgate can shock everyone and pull off a major upset.
