The Wisconsin Badgers saw their success carry over to Friday, as they beat the Northwestern Wildcats 70-61 to advance to the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament.
After a slow start that saw Northwestern jump out to a 21-10 lead, the Badgers turned the tides around with an 18-2 run and didn’t look back from there, as they led for 27:35 of the game.
Wisconsin’s day started with uncertainty as guard Chucky Hepburn was ruled out pregame due to a lower leg injury, placing the onus on the rest of the team to pick up the pieces.
