The Wisconsin Badgers picked up their most impressive victory of the season, as Greg Gard’s crew went into Mackey Arena and defeated seventh-ranked Purdue, 94-84. It was the most points the Badgers have ever scored in West Lafayette.
This game showed the Big Ten and the rest of the country that Wisconsin basketball is for real. Perhaps no moment showed the resilience of this team than when Kamari McGee was ludicrously ejected for running into a screen from Trey Kaufman-Renn in the first half with the Badgers down five. That moment spurred the Badgers as they closed the Purdue lead to one at halftime and exploded in the second half for 58 points.
