Wisconsin (10-13, 3-7 Big Ten) will play Northwestern (13-10, 4-6) in the Kohl Center Thursday night.
The Badgers have slid to a disappointing 3-7 in conference play after Monday’s heartbreaking defeat to Nebraska, in which they were outscored 30-8 in the final nine minutes, 59 seconds of play to blow an 11-point lead.
Unfortunately, Northwestern will be no easy obstacle following the difficult loss.
Chris Collins, son of former Philadelphia 76ers player/coach Doug Collins, coaches the Wildcats. Collins is in his fifth year at Northwestern and is already looking like the most successful basketball coach in school history.
