The undefeated Michigan Wolverines are taking a trip over to the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin. The Badgers will look to defend their home court against one of the best teams in the country.
When the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines take the court this weekend, they’ll have to overcome a tough road crowd if they hope to claim a victory. The Wisconsin Badgers will have the Kohl Center packed with a raucous environment and will be planning on upsetting one of the best teams in the country.
Michigan has cruised along through most of the season so far. It’s been rare for a team to actually challenge the Wolverines this year. A lot of that has to do with Michigan’s balanced lineup and the remarkable play of Ignas Brazdeikis. The young Canadian forward is scoring 15.6 points while gathering 5.4 rebounds per game.
Wisconsin hasn’t been all that dominant this season. The Badgers will need for their crowd to make a notable impact in this game if they are to come out on top of the Wolverines. Senior Ethan Happ will have to have an incredibly impressive performance as well.
He’s averaging a double-double this year as he’s scoring 19.4 points per game and getting 10.4 rebounds per game. He’s been stellar all season, he’ll need to be stellar in this game as well if Wisconsin is to come out ahead.

Despite this game being away from Ann Arbor, the Michigan Wolverines should be the clear favorite to win this game. Wisconsin, despite having the phenomenally talented Ethan Happ, probably don’t have the tools necessary to take down a team as good as Michigan. Expect the road team to come away with the win here.
