MADISON, Wis. -- Coach Greg Gard decided to run a short practice on Friday for No. 7 Wisconsin, since his players didn't get to bed until 2:30 a.m. earlier that day.
The Badgers claimed a third overtime victory in their last six games on Thursday night, with a 70-69 Big Ten Conference win at Nebraska. All three of Wisconsin's extra session games were road matchups.
Wisconsin (21-3, 10-1 in the Big Ten) has a quick turnaround, as it prepares for a game against Northwestern on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. CST at the Kohl Center.
The Badgers have won eight straight and hold a 1½ game lead over Purdue in the Big Ten standings.
