The Badgers open the 2019 portion of the season at the Kohl Center in Madison with a border battle against Minnesota. A lackluster 1st half performance had the Badgers down by 15 at halftime. Ethan Happ came out strong in the 2nd half and helped Wisconsin get within 2 of the Golden Gophers. 2 quick turnovers with less than 2 minutes left in the game equaled points for Minnesota and flipped the momentum of the game. Ethan Happ led the Badgers with 17 pts but was 1 for 7 at the free throw line. Minnesota 59, Wisconsin 52. Up Next: at Penn State, Sun 1/6/19 630pm CT.

Brad Davison took the Badgers on his shoulders in the 1st half when Ethan Happ encountered foul trouble. The Badgers had a 4 pt lead at halftime. The teams traded baskets to start the 2nd half, but miscues by Wisconsin led to points on the other end for the Hilltoppers. Western Kentucky outscored the Badgers by 11 in the 2nd half to secure the 7 point upset win. Western Kentucky 83, Wisconsin 76. Up Next: vs Minnesota at the Kohl Center Thurs 1/3/19 8pm CT.
