The Wisconsin men’s basketball team (15-7, 9-6 Big Ten) are nearing the home stretch of their regular season, but making it into postseason play won’t be easy for the Badgers.
Losers in five of their last 10 contests, Wisconsin has lacked consistency on both ends of the floor and has yet to play a complete 40-minute game against higher caliber opponents.
Four of the Badgers’ final five opponents have a winning record in the Big Ten, arguably the nation’s toughest conference. That began with Wisconsin welcoming the 11th ranked Iowa Hawkeyes (15-6, 9-6) to Madison on Feb 18.
