BOTTOM LINE: Washington comes into the matchup with Boston as losers of five in a row. Boston finished 61-21 overall, 39-13 in Eastern Conference play and 28-13 at home during the 2024-25 season. The Celtics averaged 116.3 points per game while shooting 46.2% from the field and 36.8% from deep last season.

Washington's defense looks lifeless and is getting abused in the run game. Thankfully for the Huskies, Luke Fickell chose to keep the Badgers offense on the field on fourth-and-2 from the 8-yard line, and defensive tackle Elinneus Davis caught quarterback Carter Smith on a keeper to turn Wisconsin away.
