Coming off of a tough loss at home to Maryland, the No. 6 ranked Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team (9-2 overall, 3-1 B1G) was back in action on New Year’s Eve for a rivalry game with No. 21 Minnesota (9-2 overall, 2-2 B1G).
While the Badgers had a recent stumble, Minnesota came in sporting consecutive wins over ranked opponents thanks to some stellar play by point guard Marcus Carr. On Wednesday afternoon at the Kohl Center, it was the Badgers who exited victorious, winning over the Gophers by 12 as they led the entire game.
