The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (13-9, 6-5 Big Ten) heads north to the Barn for a Border Battle with the Minnesota Gophers (11-10, 5-6) Wednesday night.
The Badgers are coming off of a colossal win over the No. 14 Michigan State Spartans while playing with only seven scholarship players. The departure of Kobe King from the program and the one-game suspension of Brad Davison left the Badger faithful uneasy about the remainder of the season. But the Badgers proved they are still potential title-contenders within the conference after taking out the first-place Spartans.
The Badgers now have six quadrant-one wins on the season, the fifth-most in the nation.
