What to Know

The #24 Wisconsin Badgers have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the George Mason Patriots at 7 p.m. ET Dec. 23 at Kohl Center. The Badgers are out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.

Wisconsin came out on top in a nail-biter against the Nicholls State Colonels last week, sneaking past 71-68. The overall outcome was to be expected, but Nicholls State made it more of a game than the oddsmakers had predicted. Guard Brad Davison (19 points) was the top scorer for Wisconsin.

Meanwhile, everything went GMU's way against the American Eagles on Tuesday as they made off with a 67-44 win. GMU relied on the efforts of guard Devon Cooper, who shot 5-for-7 from downtown and finished with 18 points, and guard Davonte Gaines, who had nine points in addition to five boards.

Their wins bumped the Badgers to 9-2 and the Patriots to 7-5. Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
