Men’s Basketball: Wisconsin takes down Purdue at home behind Ford, Pritzl

The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (16-10, 9-6 Big Ten) extended their win streak to three games Tuesday night in the Kohl Center against the Purdue Boilermakers (14-13, 7-9) in a 69–65 win.

Wisconsin proved again they’re one of the most formidable teams in the country at home, as they improved to 12-1 at the Kohl Center. Purdue’s size made it difficult on the Badgers’ bigs at the outset, but Greg Gard countered by playing three to four small, quick guards and stretching the floor.

The conference matchup started off slow, just as they have in a lot of Wisconsin games this season.
