"All Big Ten fans are familiar with Wisconsin and its style of basketball, this team is no different. The Badgers are methodical, balanced, and somehow they just find a way to win basketball games.
The Badgers will likely be down a huge piece in this game as it has been reported that forward Tyler Wahl will miss this game with an ankle injury.
With Wahl out, the Badgers will look to their sophomore point guard Chucky Hepburn to pick up the slack. In Wisconsin last game against Illinois, Hepburn did that in a losing effort, scoring 22 points and dishing out seven assists.
The Badgers will also look to Wahl's front-court mate, Steven Crowl, to step up as well. The junior is one of the most under-appreciated front-court players in the Big Ten. Having a 7-footer who averages 12.5 points and close to seven rebounds per game, all while shooting 50% from the field, is a luxury any basketball team would love to have.
Last but not least, Wisconsin has a secret weapon off the bench in freshman guard Connor Essegian."
The game preview is posted and can be read in full at the below link. What does everybody think about tonight? With Wahl out, can the Spartans repeat the success against Wisconsin last season when he was out for the matchup in Madison and MSU won 86-74? Tonight's matchup is the only regular season meeting between the programs.
