The 18th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers will face seventh-ranked Michigan State in the 2025 Big Ten Men’s Basketball tournament semifinals. Tip-off is scheduled for noon CT Friday on CBS and Paramount+, and Michigan State is a 2.5-point favorite.
Wisconsin was raining threes in their quarterfinal matchup against the UCLA Bruins. The Badgers tied a Big Ten tournament record with 19 made three-pointers in an 86-70 win over the Bruins. John Tonje was incredibly sharp against the staunch UCLA defense, as he hit all six of his three-point shots and finished nine-of-10 from the floor with a team-leading 26 points.
