There really isn’t a whole lot to say about Saturday night’s Elite 8 matchup between the No. 4 Wisconsin Badgers and the No. 12 Minnesota Golden Gophers that hasn’t already been said one million times before. This is a fierce border battle rivalry but none of their previous matches have had this high a stakes.
A berth in the Final Four is on the line. A legacy-bolstering win for Wisconsin’s decorated senior class is on the line. A chance the Badgers to win the program’s first national title is on the line.
No words will do this match-up justice.
