Fresh off a 70-63 win over the No. 12-seeded Northwestern Wildcats, the No. 5-seeded Wisconsin Badgers are facing off against the No. 4 UCLA Bruins on Friday in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals, with tip-off set for approximately 1:30 p.m.

Wisconsin played a close game against Northwestern on Thursday, struggling early before finding their rhythm on both sides of the court, especially to kick off the second half.

Leading by as many as 18 points, the Badgers ultimately won by seven as Northwestern cut the lead when the game was out of hand late in the second half.
