The Iowa Hawkeyes typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday the Badgers proved too difficult a challenge. Wisconsin took down the Hawkeyes 64-52. The top scorer for Wisconsin was guard Connor Essegian (17 points).
Meanwhile, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights typically have all the answers at home, but on Thursday Michigan proved too difficult a challenge. Michigan strolled past the Scarlet Knights with points to spare, taking the matchup 58-45. The Wolverines can attribute much of their success to guard Dug McDaniel, who had 16 points along with five steals, and guard Kobe Bufkin, who had 14 points.
The Badgers are now 16-11 while Michigan sits at 16-12. Two stats to keep an eye on: Wisconsin comes into the contest boasting the second fewest turnovers per game in college basketball at 8.7.
