After a hard-fought 63-61 loss to the Purdue Boilermakers, the Wisconsin Badgers are traveling to Minnesota for their final game of the regular season: a bout with the Minnesota Golden Gophers, with their playoff hopes looking bleak at the moment.
Off the initial look, it may seem as if the Badgers have an easier opponent on Sunday, given Minnesota’s record, but the Golden Gophers recently upset the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on a buzzer-beater, snapping a 12-game losing streak, showing some light.
The two teams faced off earlier in the season, and it was a tight bout, as the Badgers narrowly defeated the Gophers 63-60 when both teams were at full strength.
