The page has been turned after Wisconsin’s 47-44 triple overtime win over Purdue, with all attention now paid to the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
The goal this week: Of course, to retain Paul Bunyan’s Axe for the 15th straight meeting between the two rivals (this after beating Purdue for a 13th consecutive time last weekend).
If UW defeats Minnesota on Saturday, and after having already beat Iowa and Nebraska, it will again capture all of its trophy games during the regular season. The current winning streak for trophy games against the Hawkeyes, Gophers and Huskers stands at 10 heading into this week’s match-up.
