After getting upset last week in Happy Valley, the No. 19 University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (13-5, 7-4 Big Ten) hopes to bounce back in their second consecutive game Tuesday against Penn State (6-7, 3-6).
Wisconsin squandered a seven-point first-half lead in last week’s 81–71 loss. After failing to increase the margin, the Nittany Lions opened an 11-point lead in the second half. Though Wisconsin relied heavily on the production from former Lakeville North High School forwards Nathan Reuvers and Tyler Wahl, the duo’s 31 combined points were not enough as the rest of the Badgers shot a dismal 16-for-54 in the loss.
