Preview: #10 Michigan State Invades Kohl Center To Take On #18 Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Badgers experienced something four days ago that they usually don’t ever experience, losing at home in the Kohl Center. Not only did they lose, they lost to a struggling Iowa Hawkeyes team convincingly. The next problem the Badgers have is that they have to face the hottest team in the Big Ten right now in the #10 Michigan State Spartans tonight. The Spartans are riding a 13 game winning streak and have been playing their best basketball of the year. Draymond Green has been as solid as you expected, but the back court of Keith Appling and Brandon Wood has taken the Spartans to the next level. Both players are averaging double figures in points and have been a constant threat behind the arc.
The good news for Wisconsin is that they have a eight game winning streak at home in the Kohl Center against Michigan State. The Badgers will use that to their advantage and the bad taste left in their mouth from the last lose at home.
