The Wisconsin men's basketball team has clawed back onto the bubble thanks to its current five-game winning streak. Toppling Michigan State three weeks ago was step one, in essence cancelling out the ugly road loss to Northwestern. Step two was accomplished when UW upended a hot Indiana team on Jan. 26.
With a win over Nebraska at home Wednesday night, the Badgers will be in position to finish with a winning conference record, with three very winnable games left against Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota. Wisconsin controls its own destiny with plenty of opportunities for huge road wins against throughout February.
