Wisconsin Basketball: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly vs. Rutgers

The Wisconsin basketball team used a big second half to defeat the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in the Badgers’ home finale, 78-66.

Unfortunately, the game wasn’t all that smooth. There were plenty of positives to take away from the game, particularly in the second half, but there were still some things that need to get cleaned up before post-season play.

The Good: Defense for Wisconsin Basketball Sparks Offense

Early on in the game, the Wisconsin basketball team looked like they had the past ten games. Sloppy, slow, and just flat overall.

The offense looked stagnant and the Badgers couldn’t get a whole lot going offensively, missing shots and turning the ball over early and often in the first half.
