No. 22 Wisconsin has done stellar work in a four-day span, handing a pair of opponents their first loss of the season.
That's a good turn of events for the Badgers (7-1, 1-0 Big Ten Conference), who host Rutgers in their Big Ten home opener in Madison, Wis. on Monday night.
Wisconsin is fresh off a 12-point road win at No. 14 Iowa on Nov. 30, and outlasted NC State last week in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
Redshirt sophomore guard D'Mitrik Trice, sidelined for the majority of last season with a right foot injury, scored 20 points against the Hawkeyes.
