THE FACTS: It was never a game in doubt as the Badgers jumped on the depleted Gophers and never really looked back winning 62-49 in Minneapolis. The Gophers, with three key players suspended for the rest of the season, were significantly undermanned and outgunned. It was a balanced effort for Wisconsin as Bronson Koenig had 14 points with Vitto Brown and Ethan Happ each contributing 12.
THE STAT: This one was really about shooting. Rebounding was even, turnovers were fairly close but Wisconsin just shot significantly better. 35% (7/20) from three and 46% overall from the field for the Badgers.
