The Wisconsin vs. OSU betting line was available at MyBookie. This big Sunday game is scheduled for 4:30 pm EST Sunday on CBS.
This is a critical game for the Badgers who seek one of the available top seeds.
Guard Josh Gasser knows a victory in the regular-season finale Sunday at No. 23 Ohio State would keep Wisconsin (27-3, 15-2) in the mix for a top seed in the NCAAs.
"A big road win at Ohio State against a really good team would be huge for our resume," Gasser said. "We still have a shot at a (No. 1) seed. I know seeding doesn't really matter that much, but you'd still like to be the highest you possibly can be, so why not try to win games?"
It's all about keeping momentum, associate head coach Greg Gard said.
"You're also still fighting for a seed line. Can we get to a (No. 1) seed in the NCAA Tournament? These guys know, they see bracketology," Gard said. "It's human nature to listen to that stuff. You control the controllables, and that's Sunday playing the best we can against a really good team."
The line on this game was coming in at Ohio State +1 overnight. Some books had moved the line a half point to +1.5.
While Wisconsin looks to finish the regular season with a 28-3 record, Against The Spread the Badgers have closed right around the .500 mark. Likewise, the Buckeyes come into this game with a 22-8 record Straight Up and 14-14-1 record Against The Spread.
Ohio State has won 4 of the last 6 in the series and two straight games.
