On Thanksgiving Day, the Wisconsin Badgers feasted on the Providence Friars’ defense, 104-83. It was the first time this season the Badgers had topped 100 points in a game. Nick Boyd put on a show in his hometown, finishing with a career-high 36 points on 15-of-25 shots from the floor. Austin Rapp was also productive against the Friars with his first 20-point game as a Wisconsin Badger, including a solid first half where he drained three straight 3-pointers near the end of the half.
One thing that became clear as the game went on was just how poor the Providence defense was against Wisconsin.
