The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (12-9, 5-5 Big Ten) will return home to the Kohl Center Saturday night after a tough two-game road trip to face the No. 14 ranked Michigan State Spartans (16-5, 8-2).
The last week and a half has been downright brutal for the Badgers. They’ve dropped three of their last four and blew a 12-point second half lead Tuesday to No. 19 Iowa. To add insult to injury, junior guard Brad Davison has been suspended for Saturday’s game for a cheap shot in the waning seconds of the ugly Iowa loss.
As a cherry on top, budding redshirt sophomore Kobe King announced he’s leaving the team amidst rumors he was unhappy with how he was being used in Greg Gard’s system.
