The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team returned to the Kohl Center on Wednesday night after the Badgers big win against in-state rival Marquette. This win put Wisconsin at five wins against KenPom top 100 teams so far this season, tied with Alabama for most in the nation.
The Badgers hope to add to this mark by beating Indiana in their opening game of Big Ten Conference play. With three players out with a non-COVID illness, including Lorne Bowman II and Jahcobi Neath, the marquee matchup of the game was set to be in the post between preseason All-American Trayce Jackson-Davis and the Badgers’ big man Steven Crowl.
