In Wisconsin’s unofficial season tipoff at the Kohl Center Sunday, Oct. 30, the cardinal and white dominated down the stretch against the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Blugolds with a final score of 76-45.
The Badgers forced a staggering 27 turnovers, including 14 steals and executed on 16 fast break attempts. The defense certainly appeared active, a promising sign for head coach Greg Gard.
With the regular season just around the corner, three storylines defined UW’s performance Sunday.
