The Wisconsin Badgers won a hard-fought 70-63 game over the Northwestern Wildcats on Thursday, using a strong defensive performance to lead the way and move forward in the Big Ten Tournament.
It wasn’t the prettiest game for Wisconsin as the Badgers shot just 41.5 percent from the field and 32 percent from three, but they still managed to get the victory, getting a well-rounded performance from their starters.
The one starter who struggled for good portions of the game was center Steven Crowl, who couldn’t find his footing offensively after an early three-pointer, missing a few one-on-one opportunities, while turning the ball over four times.
