What to Know

The Minnesota Golden Gophers are 2-8 against the #13 Wisconsin Badgers since March of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Wednesday. The Golden Gophers and Wisconsin will face off in a Big Ten battle at 9 p.m. ET at Williams Arena. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between Minnesota and the Northwestern Wildcats on Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Minnesota wrapped it up with a 77-60 win at home. Minnesota can attribute much of their success to guard Luke Loewe, who shot 6-for-10 from downtown and finished with 24 points and seven dimes.

Meanwhile, the Michigan Wolverines typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday Wisconsin proved too difficult a challenge. The Badgers captured a comfortable 77-63 victory. It was another big night for their guard Jonathan Davis, who had 25 points in addition to six rebounds and three blocks.

The Golden Gophers are expected to lose this next one by 5. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Minnesota, who are 12-13 against the spread.

The wins brought Minnesota up to 13-12 and Wisconsin to 21-5. Minnesota is 8-4 after wins this season, the Badgers 15-5.
