Wisconsin basketball is back in the win column after defeating the Rhode Island Rams.

The Wisconsin basketball team was supposed to take on the #25 Louisville Cardinals as a part of the ACC/B1G Challenge, but the game had to be postponed with the Cardinals having issues with rising covid numbers within the program. The game has been ‘postponed’ rather than canceled, so there is still some hope that the game will be played, although Badgers head coach Greg Gard still didn’t know when that game would be played.
