Fresh off an 71-62 loss to the Michigan State Spartans, the Wisconsin Badgers are heading into the final week of the season, starting with their annual Border Battle matchup against the Minnesota Golden Gophers
The Badgers, standing at 22-7, are currently 12-6 in conference play, ranking fifth in the Big Ten behind Michigan State (15-3), Michigan (14-4), Purdue (13-6), and Maryland (12-6).
Wisconsin struggled from three in their loss, shooting an ugly 5/32, which led to their worst offensive output of the season.
Still, thanks to a strong defensive performance, they managed to keep things close, with the back-and-forth battle being a single-digit game for much of the afternoon.
