Virginia Tech (9) vs Wisconsin (8) 9:40 ET
Badgers (-) over Hokies- The selection committee once again is under scrutiny and it's understandable why. I'm not going to go through it all as a number of 'lower' seeds end up the favorite but, that is not the case here. Wisconsin is making their 19th straight NCAA appearance while Virginia Tech is 'here' for the first time in 12 years. The Hokies have fared well against the Big Ten going 5-2-1 ATS in eight games and are 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 games. (That's pretty damn good!) But, the Badgers have big game experience and a defense that can shut down Delay and Allen and that will be enough. Note that tourney teams that lost their conference Championship game by more then 15 points are 23-7 ATS in the opening round. Take WISCONSIN!
