The No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers take on the Northwestern Wildcats in the second round of the 2025 Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament. Tip-off is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. central Thursday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Wisconsin is a 7.5-point favorite.
Last Saturday, the Badgers had a chance to earn a double-by in this year’s conference tournament, but a hot-shooting Penn State team came to Madison and upset the Badgers 86-75. Fortunately for the Badgers, Max Klesmit appears to be good to go for the tournament, which should improve the three-point shooting.
