Wisconsin men’s basketball: Badgers host Wolverines in need of a win

After throwing away a 19-point lead against the Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-10 Big Ten, 12-14 overall) to lose in overtime 73-63, the Wisconsin Badgers (6-8, 14-10) have to pick up the pieces and try and beat the Michigan Wolverines (8-6, 14-11) if they want to keep postseason hopes alive.

This story is starting to get old.

Wisconsin failed to capitalize on its chances against the Huskers. Much like they did against Northwestern (twice) — who just upset then-No. 1 Purdue Sunday. And in need of something to spark the season, Wisconsin finds itself in a crucial week ahead of them.
