Wisconsin men's basketball fans love sweep of Tom Izzo's Michigan State team
The Badgers were dominant in their victory over the Spartans to remain atop the Big Ten standings.
Strong team through January
With Tyler Wahl’s outstanding defense and A.J. Storr scoring 28, the Badgers defeat Sparty, 81-66, and are now 8-1 in Big Ten play. Wisconsin played with the intensity needed to beat Sparty in the season series. Next up? At Nebraska in the return game Thursday, Feb. 1.

Isn't that something?
7 guys with at least 5 points … and none were Chucky. UW is THAT deep.

Epic reference
Sweeping the Fightin' Izzos in a season? I keep waiting for this team to stumble, but they are making me into a believer pic.twitter.com/qUAvrFaRnk

Little anxious with a double-digit lead!?
I am usually singing praises. It was a great win, however, I felt in the second half We were not working the ball like we were in the first half. Throwing up bad shots, forced shots. And personally I felt Connor E. Should have giotten back in. But who am I? 😀

When opposing coaches see the Badgers coming to town

Badgers were just better
Michigan State played with urgency like the Spartans of old. They crashed the boards and scored from inside and outside. Even so, they couldn’t match Wisconsin. That says so much about how good the Badgers are this year.

There is great togetherness
I’m in awe sometimes of how well this team plays together! Chucky was so good again but I’m hoping he gets his mojo (shooting )back back for the 2nd half of the season. Lots of anguished looks from Izzo lol

Four corners all weekend
Need to work on our clock burning on offense as it’s not as sharp as it used to be. But anytime the Badgers beat Sparty it’s great to be a Badger.

Should be an enjoyable weekend
Two thumbs up, Jim. Very pleasant Friday night.

What a night for the bench, eh?
Defense ratcheted up tonight. Added to that offense and bench contributions = decisive win. This team is getting scary better.....

He is against Michigan State
Storr is NBA player.

I love our top 8 guys right now.
Nolan Winter needs to take some of Carter Gilmore's minutes.
Complete game, indeed
Impressive wire to wire win, complete game. Aj offense and Hepburn defense masterpieces
— Casey Ward (@Badgerbydesign) January 27, 2024
Have to be intense defensively against Izzo's teams
Over 80 points, Storr had a great game, good defensive intensity. Very good performance all around.

Are you though?
I screenshot this Tweet and sent to my son. He’s a pretty recent MSU grad and I’m a UW grad … said “Sorry 🤷🏼♂️”
— B Fojtik (@PositiveEnerG) January 27, 2024
Attack, attack, attack
This is a very well-balanced team with a great sprinkling of youth among their vets. During their mini scoring drought late in the 2nd half, I was fine (as always) with working the clock, but I would have liked to see them get to the rim a bit more.

Consistent offense has been key from that unit
Blackwell Winter Essegian was producing when they were in tonight. No let ups on offense throughout the game.
— David Koller (@DavidBKoller) January 27, 2024
The schedule turns
MSU had no answer to the Badgers ferocious defense. This team is a class act and they ain’t done! Keep it going Badgers!

No fantasy to this stretch
Michigan State is always a quality foe and we had to work some - but we executed well enough to win comfortably.

At least this year
Gard owns Izzo! #OnWisconsin

A lot of teams don't, and that's huge
We have AJ Storr and MSU don’t. 😎

Hmmm.

Beat Purdue?
What does this team have to do to prove to people that they are good?

Big week next week
Team is so hard to beat in Madison. Gotta split with Purdue

The Badgers needed a star and one stepped up to keep them atop the Big Ten standings. Here's what we learned.
The Badgers needed a win as they enter a tough stretch, and it's a solid one for an ever-improving resume.
The transfer from St. John's scored 50 points in two meetings and was highly efficient in doing so. Here's how he broke out of a shooting slump.
The Badgers finished off a sweep of the Spartans, with both wins coming by double digits. The best part? Greg Gard's team has room to grow.
According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), 266,327 Wisconsinites signed up for health insurance on HealthCare.gov during the 2024 Open Enrollment Period, a record-high number and a 20% increase in enrollment from the previous period.
The forward has averaged just 3.0 points and 2.0 rebounds per game, but his growth from a physical aspect improves by the game.
It's been several years since the Badgers were ranked this high, which sets up a big-time showdown Sunday against Purdue.
The Big Ten is expanding, but the conference is keeping as much as possible unchanged.
Upon his return home to Nebraska, here's how the Badgers' point guard is impacting games while scoring a career-low.
Graphics show details on some of the areas where spending took off on Badgers sports during a season of change atop two major programs.
A couple of Wisconsin coaches saw a Madison-area center establish his presence inside for the Cardinals during a home loss Thursday. Here's more about his recruiting journey.
The backup had played in every game as part of a much-improved bench member. Here's the latest update on his status.
BadgerExtra reporters discuss the contributions of Tyler Wahl and AJ Storr for Badgers men’s basketball and look ahead to the hockey teams chasing championships.
A shooting slump has not deterred the team's leading scorer from making plays in critical moments.
Brad Davison's message to his former teammate didn't come to fruition, though the dominance didn't stop. Plenty of motivating factors led to a brilliant performance.
When fans rush onto the court after basketball games, the Badgers have plans to provide security for players and coaches.
The last time Wisconsin played a January game against Minnesota, an injury to Tyler Wahl coincided with the Badgers' collapse. How the graduate forward has made peace with the injury.
