The Badgers took care of business in a game they couldn't afford to lose.

The Badgers rushed out to an early lead and nearly lost it, but bounced back in a conference victory in Madison.

The Badgers aren't a team that could press or apply full-court pressure, yet they still grow closer to a team that could defend at an elite level after another solid day.

After John Tonje was held scoreless during a win at Southern Cal earlier this month, a heart-to-heart with Badgers assistant Kirk Penney helped get him back on track. 

Wisconsin moved to 1-8 in Big Ten competition and the Gophers swept the season series.

Kirk Penney, who has been around every major Badgers offensive system over the last 30 seasons, traveled the world as a player to eventually find the offensive system that best suits him. As a coach, he’s used what he’s learned to help his alma mater create generational offensive success.

The Badgers' winning streak was snapped last wee, but they bounced back in an emphatic way Sunday to continue their national ascent in the AP Top 25 poll.
