Wisconsin Basketball Defeats Northwestern 71-63: Takeaways & Notes

The Wisconsin basketball program picked up its sixth straight win on Saturday afternoon, defeating Northwestern 71-63. The Badgers are now 13-3 on the season and remain the only unbeaten team in Big Ten conference play.

Here are some of my takeaways and notes from Saturday’s victory.

Wisconsin Basketball Guard Max Klesmit Continues His Hot Streak

Max Klesmit, who was coming off of an 18-point performance against Ohio State, kept his foot on the gas against Northwestern, leading all scorers and recording his highest point total in a Badgers uniform with 24 points.

The Neenah, Wisconsin native shot 9-of-13 from the field, but he really made his mark from beyond the arc, hitting 5-of-7 three-point shots.
