When you consider the circumstances surrounding Wisconsin’s matchup with No.2 Michigan on Saturday, you can’t help but be reminded of the events that took place in Madison on the afternoon of February 9, 2013.
On that day, the unranked Badgers squared off with the No.3 Wolverines at the Kohl Center. Much like his squad this season, John Beilein’s team was exceptionally talented that year. Led by future NBA draft picks Glenn Robinson III, Trey Burke, Tim Hardaway Jr., Nik Stauskas, and Mitch McGary, Michigan would go on to become the national runner-up on to Louisville in the spring.
