The No. 19 Wisconsin Badgers overcame poor shooting and a hostile Williams Arena crowd in a 56-51 victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Wednesday night.
It marked the sixth win in a row for Greg Gard’s squad, which now sits tied for third in the Big Ten with No. 9 Michigan State, who they coincidentally play next Tuesday night inside the Kohl Center.
We saw another outstanding defensive effort. D’Mitrik Trice came up clutch once again in a tough situation, and Ethan Happ pulled off what could be best described as an extremely solid impression of a pro-wrestling bad guy.
