Wisconsin has played extremely well following their heartbreaking loss to the Marquette Golden Eagles, with two solid wins against Rhode Island and Loyola-Chicago. Micah Potter has emerged as a star for this Badgers’ team, leading Wisconsin in both points and rebounds. Potter has averaged 12.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists a game this season, including an outstanding 54.3 average field goal percentage on the season. Wisconsin will look to keep rolling against the Cardinals.
The initial matchup between the teams on Dec. 9 was postponed because of positive cases for COVID-19 on the Cardinals. The Louisville outbreak forced them to cancel their matchup against UNC-Greensboro, and an outbreak on North Carolina State forced the matchup against the Cardinals to be postponed.
Despite their struggles with COVID-19, the Louisville Cardinals are 4-0 so far this season including a close win against Seton Hall. They are led by guard Carlik Jones, who is averaging 17.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists a game this season. Louisville will be an important early-season test for the Badgers before they enter their Big Ten schedule next week.
