The No. 9 University of Wisconsin (11-3, 5-2 Big Ten) men’s basketball team got back on track with their win against Rutgers (7-5, 3-5 Big Ten). The Badgers outlasted the Scarlet Knights 60-54 and improved to 3-0 in games following a loss this season.
In what turned out to be a defensive battle all the way through, the late-game offense from D’Mitrik Trice propelled the Badgers to a victory.
After being quiet all game, Trice sank two dagger threes as well as a layup on a strong drive to the basket late in the second half.
