Wisconsin men’s basketball: Three keys to win vs Northwestern

The Wisconsin Badgers will face off against the Northwestern Wildcats on Sunday evening, looking to avenge their loss from a week ago when the latter defeated the former 66-63.

During that game, the Badgers were without starting guard Max Klesmit, which hurt significantly as Wildcats guards Boo Buie and Chase Audige combined for 36 points.

With the rematch coming, how can the Badgers beat the Wildcats when the two teams play on Sunday?

Key No. 1: Defending the top guards

The Badgers lost last week in part because of the performances from Buie and Audige, but also due to poor offensive games from guards Chucky Hepburn and Connor Essegian, who combined to shoot 7/27.
