Wisconsin laid 24.5 points after only a 75-68 opening win over Denver in which it shot 39 percent at the line, so Delaware plus the big number deserves a look.

Injury Report
Wisconsin forward Will Garlock is day-to-day after missing the opener and an exhibition against Oklahoma State, and freshman Josh Manchester is out for the season, which thins the Badgers' frontcourt behind Nolan Winter and Austin Rapp. Delaware guard Mason Ellison has a thumb injury and center Steven Solano an undisclosed issue, but both were available for the opener. Garlock's absence keeps more minutes and rebounding responsibility on Winter.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
Wisconsin dominated inside against Denver, winning points in the paint 46-18 and second-chance points 16-9, but shot only 7-of-18 from three and 39 percent at the line. Delaware shot 59.2 percent with 28 assists against a Division III opponent, so the Blue Hens' offense has not yet faced Big Ten size.
3 Things to Watch
- Wisconsin free throw shooting after a 39 percent night
- Delaware ball movement against Big Ten length
- Nolan Winter on the glass without Garlock
Betting Breakdown
Wisconsin returns to the Kohl Center floor Friday for the first meeting ever with Delaware, and the Badgers are 24.5-point favorites after an uneven opener. Wisconsin beat Denver 75-68 behind 18 points from Eian Elmer, 15 from Braeden Carrington and 14 points with seven assists from Owen Foxwell, but Greg Gard called the performance not up to standard. The Badgers owned the paint 46-18 and had 20 assists against 10 turnovers, yet they shot 39 percent at the free throw line and 3-of-13 from three after halftime. Nolan Winter grabbed 14 rebounds but scored only 6 points on 3-of-10 shooting. Delaware, now in Conference USA, crushed Division III Notre Dame of Maryland 105-44 with 59.2 percent shooting and 28 assists, led by 22 points from Chuck Bailey III and 11 assists from DeShawn Harris-Smith. Wisconsin is again expected to be without Will Garlock. The total sits at 152.5, and the key question is whether Wisconsin's offense sharpens enough to cover a big number.
Delaware Blue Betting Outlook
Delaware opened its first Conference USA season with a 105-44 win over Division III Notre Dame of Maryland. The Blue Hens shot 59.2 percent from the field and 46.4 percent from three, and they assisted on 28 of 42 made baskets. Chuck Bailey III led the way with 22 points, five rebounds and four assists, while DeShawn Harris-Smith dished out 11 assists and center Steven Solano grabbed 10 rebounds. Guard Mason Ellison played through a thumb injury. Friday is a major step up in competition, as Delaware faces a Big Ten opponent on the road for the first time this season and enters as a 24.5-point underdog.
Wisconsin Betting Outlook
Wisconsin opened with a 75-68 home win over Denver that Greg Gard described as below the program's standard. Eian Elmer scored 18 points with five rebounds in his official debut, Braeden Carrington added 15 points and four assists, and Owen Foxwell had 14 points and seven assists. Nolan Winter pulled down 14 rebounds and added four assists and two blocks but scored just 6 points. The Badgers won the paint 46-18 and the second-chance battle 16-9, yet they shot 39 percent at the free throw line. Will Garlock remains day-to-day, and Austin Rapp logged 30 frontcourt minutes off the bench.
