The 24th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers are riding the momentum of four straight Big Ten conference victories out to Los Angeles to take on a rising USC Trojans basketball team at the Galen Center. Tip-off on the Big Ten Network is Saturday at 2:00 p.m.
After leading the first half by 17, Wisconsin started to falter down the stretch as Ohio State chipped away at the lead. Despite the Buckeyes’ best efforts, the Badgers survived and squeaked out a 70-68 win at the Kohl Center last Tuesday.
Wisconsin’s free-throw shooting was the difference in the game, as the Badgers converted 25-of-28 free throws in the win.
