The Badgers are advancing to the second round of the NIT.
In front of a small crowd, the Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Bradley Braves 81-62 at the Kohl Center on Tuesday night.
After failing to receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament, the Badgers accepted their offer to play in the NIT.
They were granted the 2-seed, and the tournament began with a home win against the Braves.
The Badgers jumped off to a solid start by attacking the paint and going to both Steven Crowl and Tyler Wahl early inside.
