Wisconsin men’s basketball: Michigan State recap

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good afternoon!

The No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers (8-1 overall, 2-0 Big Ten) outlasted the No. 12 Michigan State Spartans (6-2 overall, 0-2 Big Ten) on Christmas day to earn their first victory at the Breslin Center since March of 2004.

The game started off inauspiciously for the Badgers as they turned the ball over on each of their first four possessions. However, this didn’t put them in the hole that you thought it might, as Michigan State was only able to muster up two points against the stout Wisconsin defense.
