In their final game of a three-game road trip, Green Bay Phoenix will travel to Wisconsin Badgers on Tuesday night in the hope of putting up a much better showing. In their first two games, Phoenix were humiliated by Indiana State and Georgetown. Wisconsin, on the other hand, have triumphed over Stanford and South Dakota so far.
In the Brew City Battle at American Family Field, the Badgers defeated the Stanford Cardinal 60–50 after a defensive struggle. It will be intriguing to see who joins Wahl as the playmaker in the starting lineup and who can contribute for the Badgers in a home game against the Phoenix from the bench.

Green Bay vs Wisconsin Key Stats
Phoenix are awful on both ends of the court, coming in at 357 on defense and 351 on adjusted offensive efficiency. Their outside shooting, which is hitting 33.3% of their 3-point attempts, has been their offensive strength.
On Tuesday, they will face a difficult battle as the Badgers' defense leads the nation in three-point percentage (9.7).
Davin Ziegler, a junior guard, is Phoenix's top scorer with 13.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. The only other player in double figures is sophomore guard Zae Blake, who averages 11.0 points off the bench. He is going up against the No. 26-ranked Badgers defense overall.
The Badgers have their typical offensive strengths, but their defense is stronger than their offense. They play methodically, do not turn the ball over frequently, and make the most of their possessions. In addition, the Badgers are shooting 37.0% from beyond the arc, so they are off to a good start there as well.
With 18.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, senior forward Tyler Wahl leads the club. Sophomore guard Chucky Hepburn contributes 12.5 points and 4.0 assists. Steven Crowl, a junior forward, completes the group of scorers with 10.5 points and 7.0 rebounds.
Green Bay vs Wisconsin Best Picks and Prediction
The betting market still does not fully understand how terrible this Phoenix team is. In the event that Phoenix end up being the worst team in college basketball this season, this spread will appear to be much too low. The Badgers are underrated by the market because they have won both of their first games against the spread.
The only marginally redeemable aspect of Phoenix's offense has been their perimeter shooting, and the Badgers' defense leads the country in 3-point percentage. The Green Bay Phoenix will be repressed all night long, which will result in another humiliating defeat.
Pick: Badgers -26.5 (-115)
