In their biggest game of the season, the Wisconsin Badgers prevailed for a 94-84 victory over the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday, exploding in the second half for the win.
After a closely contested first half that Purdue controlled for the most part before Wisconsin marched back at the end, the Badgers used an 11-0 run early in the second half to take over and they never relinquished the lead in a tight battle from there on.
With the win, Wisconsin improved to 20-5 on the season and 10-4 in conference play, remaining in fourth in the Big Ten, but moving closer to the top of the standings.
