Coming off a monster weekend at the Field House, where the Badgers beat No. 12 Northwestern and No. 16 Rutgers, Wisconsin (7-0 overall, 3-0 Big Ten) knew there was no time to celebrate because they had to travel across the border to take on archrival Minnesota.
The Golden Gophers (3-3 overall, 2-2 Big Ten), who entered Sunday’s dual ranked No. 14 in the nation and coming off a big win on Friday night over the No. 15 Nebraska Cornhuskers, couldn’t hang with the Badgers, and Wisconsin won the dual 21-15. As noted in the below tweet, the Badgers hadn’t beaten the Gophers in a decade!
