The No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers (14-2 overall, 5-1 Big Ten) men’s basketball team hit the road on Tuesday night to take on the Northwestern Wildcats (9-6 overall, 2-4 Big Ten) at Welsh-Ryan Arena. UW is riding a six-game winning streak while the ‘Cats are coming off their biggest win of the season, upsetting a top-10 Michigan State team at the Breslin Center.
Unlike in football, Northwestern basketball has not been quite a thorn in Wisconsin’s side recently. The Badgers have win six in a row against NU, including three on the road.
