On the heels of securing a road win over Nebraska, the No. 21 Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team (15-7 overall, 9-6 B1G) welcomed the No. 3 ranked Michigan Wolverines (14-1 overall, 9-1 Big Ten) to the Kohl Center for a Valentine's Day showdown.
The last time the two teams met, Michigan was unequivocally superior, dominating the Badgers 77-54 in mid-January. Since then, Wisconsin’s play has been fairly uneven, but they came into the game winners of two of their last three games. Michigan on the other hand made the trip to Madison fresh off of 23-day program shutdown to to COVID-19.
