The No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team (7-1 overall, 1-0 Big Ten) opened up the conference portion of their schedule with a comfortable 67-53 win over the visiting Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-4 overall, 0-1 Big Ten). After an extremely shaky start (at one point the Badgers were 1-for-16 from the field) Wisconsin turned it on heading into halftime and then blew the game open after the break.
