Men’s Basketball: Newly minted No. 24 Badgers take down Northwestern for seventh straight win

The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (20-10, 13-6 Big Ten) found their way to a three-way tie for first place in the Big Ten Tuesday night in an ugly 63–48 win over Northwestern (7-22, 2-17).

The Senior Night victory makes seven straight now for the red hot Badgers whose season has done a complete 180 since a shaky 13-10 start.

Nathan Reuvers led the way as the only Badger in double digits with 11 points, and no one player stood out amongst the rest in Wednesday’s conference matchup. But, Northwestern sits in last place in the Big Ten for a reason, so quality contributions across the board were enough for Wisconsin to come away with a win.
