Wisconsin came into Breslin Center with a three game winning streak on MSU’s floor but were unable to make it four in a row today.
Prior to the game it was announced that Max Klesmit, a nearly 10 points per game scorer, would be out for Wisconsin with a lower leg injury. Kamari McGee would start in his place and the Badgers got off to a hot start despite Klesmit’s absence, building a 10-4 lead going into the first media timeout. Steven Crowl did most of the damage for Wisconsin, with seven points.
Wisconsin was content to fire from deep, hitting two of their first five with one of the misses being leading to an offensive rebound and putback.
