With fellow frosh Justise Winslow and Tyus Jones 3rd and 5th on the team in scoring respectively the Dookies are younger than any team that I can remember.<\/p>\n<p>They are really good too and will be better once they get Rasheed Sulaimon going.<\/p>\n<h3>Wisconsin<\/h3>\n<p>The Badgers high ranking at this stage of the season is rare praise for one of the most consistent programs around.<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin is always good but usually it takes most of a season for the nation to wake up to that fact. Not this year though as they are thought to be the class of the B10 with some margin.<\/p>\n<p>So far they have lived up to expectations with a perfect record and only one close contest against a pretty good Georgetown team.<\/p>\n<p>This is the biggest game of the year for them if the B10 is truly down this season.<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin may not have the depth up front of a Kentucky but in Frank Kaminsky, Nigel Hayes and Sam Dekker they have three frontcourt player averaging more than 12ppg while shooting better than 50%.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=64759&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Kaminsky is going to have his hands full with Okafor tonight as he will be asked for a little more on the defensive end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NCAAB Handicapping Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Under is 14-6 in DUKE last 20 Wed. games.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>DUKE are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Over is 7-3 in DUKE last 10 vs. Big Ten.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WIS are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WIS are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 home games.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WIS are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 Wed. games.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>NCAAB Prediction: \u00a0Duke +3<\/h3>\n<p>On the other hand, his best weapon may be to use his crafty game to get the frosh in some early foul trouble.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NCAAB \u00a0Score prediction:\u00a0Duke 76 &#8211; Wisconsin 69<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I always tend to underrate Wisconsin because I think they are going to be outplayed by more athletic teams.
