Last year, the Badgers upset No. 7 Purdue 94-84, with John Tonje's 32-point performance without one of their stars, Kamari McGee. This year, the Badgers rolled into Mackey without Nolan Winter, and many UW fans had decided the game would "be what it will be." However, Wisconsin did it again, knocking off a No. 15-ranked Purdue 97-93.
