Men’s Basketball: Shorthanded Badgers prevail over No. 14 Spartans

The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (13-9, 6-5 Big Ten) picked up a massive 64-63 win over conference foe, No. 14 ranked Michigan State Saturday (16-6, 8-3) in a sold out Kohl Center.

After losing three of their last four games and their second leading scorer to the transfer market, the Badgers’ 2020 season seemed like a lost cause.

On top of that, Brad Davison sat out Saturday after he earned himself a one-game suspension earlier in the week against Iowa. Everything was going against Wisconsin, but that meant they had nothing to lose.

In front of an electric Kohl Center, the Badgers came out and played with confidence and character, pulling out what is arguably their best win of the season.
