Wisconsin vs. VCU preview: 3 keys to beating the Rams

Wisconsin needs a win Sunday against VCU to build momentum heading into the meat of its non-conference schedule. How can the Badgers ensure victory in its 2K Classic finale?

Sunday is a big opportunity for a Wisconsin men's basketball team sorely in need of momentum. The Badgers (2-2) are coming off a disappointing 71-61 loss to Georgetown, but have another chance on Sunday to pick up a win against a quality foe in Madison Square Garden. Wisconsin faces VCU (2-1) at 2:30 p.m. CT.

Nigel Hayes broke out of a mini-slump with 22 points against Georgetown, but he committed his first three turnovers of the season and continues to shoot under 42 percent.
