The No. 9 ranked University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team’s (10-3, 4-2) big trip to Ann Arbor this past Tuesday was a total disappointment. The Badgers fell hard to No. 7 Michigan (11-0, 6-0) by a score of 77–54.
Michigan’s suffocating defense fueled a blowout win for the Wolverines. Three of Wisconsin’s first eight shots were blocked and the Wolverines ended the night with nine total blocks.
It was not just a block party at the Crisler Center, as the Wolverines started running the Badgers out of the gym for a good part of the game. Michigan went on a 41–6 run over a span that lasted close to 20 minutes.
