Wisconsin loses important defensive player to injury ahead of Villanova game

Greg Gard has said he needs to find defense, and he needs to find it quickly. There have only been a few players he's really trusted on defense so far this year, and one of those now won't be playing against Villanova: Braeden Carrington.

Carrington is out due to an undisclosed injury and won't be available tonight, according to Wisconsin and Greg Gard. While Carrington is not a loss to the starting rotation, he's been very important off the bench, especially on defense.
