Following a pair of closer than they should have been non-conference wins over Nicholls and Illinois State at home, the No. 23 Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team (11-2 overall, 2-1 Big Ten) was back on the road Monday evening for a conference clash with No. 3 Purdue.
Not only did the contest represent a pivotal game at the top of the Big Ten, but it was also the first game that the Badgers had their entire roster healthy and available since Marquette a month earlier.
While having everyone back provided a shot in the arm for the team, it was Johnny Davis who was the difference as the Badgers took down Purdue for a massive 74-69 road win.
