The Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball is back in action on Wednesday night! After splitting a pair of conference games last week, and dropping out of the AP Poll (by one spot), Wisconsin (8-2 overall, 1-1 Big Ten) welcomes the Nicholls Colonels (7-3 overall, 0-0 Southland) to the Kohl Center. It is the first of three straight home, non-conference games before Big Ten play really gets started at the beginning of January.
While their record may look decent, a brief look at the Colonels’ schedule shows that four of their wins have come against non-D1 competition. Their best win of the season is a road dub over Northern Iowa, but they’ve been blown out by Baylor and TCU so winning against a Power 5 team might not be in the cards this year.
