Wisconsin Badgers to Face Pittsburgh in Greenbrier Tipoff

The Wisconsin Badgers are set to compete against Pittsburgh in the Greenbrier Tipoff on Sunday, November 26, 2023. The event is taking place in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, with the game slated to begin at approximately 4:30 p.m. local time.

This inaugural tournament features the Badgers, who recently secured a victory against UCF, attempting to maintain their winning momentum. While they are not looking to celebrate a November tournament win in a grand fashion, the team considers it a significant milestone, especially for a group that started the season with little to no preseason attention.

Wisconsin’s matchup against Pittsburgh represents one of their toughest challenges in terms of defensive opponents so far in the season. However, the Badgers’ strategy of drawing fouls could potentially guide them into an effective offensive rhythm during the game.

Projected starting players for Wisconsin include guards John Blackwell, John Tonje, and Max Klesmit, alongside forwards Nolan Winter and Steven Crowl. Pittsburgh’s expected starters feature guards Ishmael Leggett, Jaland Lowe, and Damian Dunn, with forwards Camereon Corhen and Guillermo Diaz Graham lining up as well.

According to the odds released as of Sunday, Wisconsin is slightly favored to win with a predicted scoreline of 79-71 over Pittsburgh. The match not only serves as a test of skills but also as a potential morale booster for the Badgers as they progress through the season.
