Saturday’s matchup with Northwestern postponed

As a result of Northwestern’s COVID-19 outbreak, the Badgers contest against the Wildcats has been postponed to an undetermined later date.

Wisconsin (12-5) was set to take on Northwestern (12-5) on the road Saturday, but the game has now been postponed to an undetermined later date as the Wildcats continue to deal with a COVID-19 outbreak within their program.

As a result of the postponement, the Badgers will return to the court Wednesday (Jan. 25) to face Maryland (12-6)  in College Park. Wisconsin will look to take advantage of some added rest, getting eight days of off following their 63-60 win over Penn State at the Kohl Center.

For Northwestern, the postponement was their second consecutive, last playing Jan. 15 versus Michigan. The team is tentatively set to play next Tuesday in Lincoln against Nebraska (10-9) if they can clear COVID-19 protocols by then.

When the Wisconsin Badgers returned to the field last weekend against Michigan, they did so without several key players due to the Big Ten’s COVID-19 return to play protocol.

Their 49-11 win, arguably, looks even more impressive now when you consider the team was without their top cornerback, starting defensive end, left guard, running back and more.

Sitting at 2-0 on the season now, and getting set to travel on Saturday to face off against the 4-0 and No. 19-ranked Northwestern Wildcats, Paul Chryst and his team are getting set to get players back on the field that were still working through the protocol.

After hearing what Chryst and his assistants said this week in their press conferences, here’s who could be returning to action for Wisconsin this weekend:
