After having their game against Morgan State cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns, the No. 24 Wisconsin Badgers (9-2 overall, 1-1 Big Ten) were able to find a more than suitable replacement with the George Mason Patriots (7-5 overall, 0-0 Atlantic 10) coming to Madison instead.
You may remember Mason from their magical 2006 run to the Final Four, but the Patriots have been playing basketball since 1966 and have 13 20-win seasons in their history. This season, led by first-year coach Kim English, the Patriots have already beaten Maryland and Georgia on the road while also stomping Wisconsin’s previously scheduled opponent, Morgan State, by 37.
