The Wisconsin Badgers took on the Central Michigan Chippewas, one of their final two non-conference games of the season. The Badgers looked good from start to finish, getting an 88-61 victory in a much-needed reset after losing to Villanova only a few days ago. The bad news is, John Blackwell didn't even suit up for the game, and Nolan Winter couldn't finish. Greg Gard gave a *** update on both of his star players.
Blackwell didn't even suit up, but Winter left the game in obvious pain around his ankle or foot and wasn't seen again except for a short moment late in the game when he was peering out of the tunnel watching his team finish off the game.
