After getting back on a winning track against Ohio State last Sunday at the Kohl Center, the Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team (15-10 overall, 8-6 B1G) had nearly a full week off in anticipation of Saturday afternoon’s road contest with the Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-18 overall, 2-12 B1G).
Entering the game, Nebraska came home nursing a nine game losing streak, while Wisconsin was hoping to secure consecutive wins for the first time in a month.
On Saturday, it was the Badgers that would parlay some hot shooting to escape a can’t lose game with a 81 to 64 win over the Cornhuskers.
