That said, ninth-ranked Wisconsin's 67-53 triumph against Nebraska in the Big Ten opener for both teams Tuesday night had some points of interest.
Five quick takeaways:
1. You knew this game would be a difficult chore for the Huskers in part because of the Badgers' veteran roster.
It's a bunch of guys who clearly trust each other.
Greg Gard's squad starts five seniors. Which is probably why Wisconsin (7-1) didn't appear to panic at all even though it missed 16 of its first 17 field-goal attempts.
Yes, you read that right.
