The No. 23 Wisconsin Badgers (10-2 overall, 1-1 Big Ten) are back in action on Monday night against the No. 3 Purdue Boilermakers (12-1 overall, 1-1 Big Ten). Unfortunately, the game will be taking place in Mackey Arena a place where Wisconsin basically never wins, so there is a lot going against UW tonight.
UW has only played one game in the last two and a half weeks and, quite frankly, didn’t look great in that effort (a four-point win over Illinois State) or the one before (a three-point win over Nicholls) so the prospect of playing a top-five Purdue team on the road does not exactly fill me with confidence.
