The Wisconsin Badgers (13-10 overall, 6-6 B1G) traveled to Minneapolis for a Border Battle game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers (12-10 overall, 6-6 B1G) and got steam rolled by a Gophers team that is fighting for their NCAA Tournament lives. The Gophers won 70-52, but it didn’t even feel that close as most of the second half was a formality.
The first half got started with both teams scorching the nets. Minnesota was scoring inside at will thanks to B1G Player of the Year candidate Daniel Oturu, while the Badgers started off the game shooting 4-of-5 from deep to keep it close.
