How to watch Wisconsin basketball against the Michigan Wolverines on Tuesday night:

The Wisconsin Badgers play the Michigan Wolverines on Tuesday night, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Badgers are coming off a difficult overtime loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday. The loss significantly hurt Wisconsin’s chances to make the NCAA Tournament this year. It will be important for the Badgers to flip the momentum against the Wolverines, after losing due to a second-half 27-point swing by the Cornhuskers.

Wisconsin will need another standout performance from true freshman Connor Essegian, who has averaged 15.8 points per game over the last four games. He has been the Badgers’ second-best three-point shooter this season and has been crucial in providing key baskets during scoring droughts for Wisconsin.

It should be an exciting game to watch as Juwan Howard and the Michigan Wolverines will make their return to the Kohl Center against the Badgers.

Wisconsin vs. Nebraska: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Saturday

How to watch Wisconsin basketball on the road against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday:

The Wisconsin Badgers play the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday afternoon, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Badgers will hope to finish off their two-game road trip undefeated against the Cornhuskers, after a thrilling 79-74 overtime victory over the Penn State Nittany Lions on Wednesday. The Badgers were led by a phenomenal 19-point shooting performance from point guard Chucky Hepburn.

In addition to the great game from Hepburn, forward Tyler Wahl had his first big performance since his return from injury. Wahl’s continued presence in the point will be crucial for Wisconsin moving forward since his playmaking helps to open up Hepburn and talented freshman guard Connor Essegian on the outside.

It should be a great game to watch as the Badgers try to work their way back up the Big Ten standing and potentially to an NCAA Tournament birth.

Wisconsin vs. Penn State: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Wednesday

How to watch Wisconsin basketball against the Penn State Nittany Lions on Wednesday night:

The Wisconsin Badgers play the Penn State Nittany Lions on Wednesday night, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

Coming off of a tough loss to Northwestern, the Badgers hope to rebound against the Nittany Lions to sweep the season series and break their tie for tenth place in the Big Ten.

Wisconsin will need a great defensive night from their backcourt against Penn State guard Jalen Pickett, who leads the teams in points, assists and rebounds. Pickett also finished with 19 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in the Nittany Lions’ 63-60 loss to the Badgers earlier this season.

Another key for a Badgers’ victory will be getting forwards Steven Crowl and Tyler Wahl back on the right track since they are two of Wisconsin’s three leading scorers so far this season. A scoring threat from the Badgers’ frontcourt will be crucial to help open up their offense and give space to their shooters.

Hopefully, Wisconsin can start right the ship against Penn State, since every game will be crucial down this final stretch of the regular season for their postseason aspirations.

Photos from Wisconsin basketball’s close loss to the Northwestern Wildcats:

On Sunday night, the Wisconsin Badgers fell 54-52 to the Northwestern Wildcats in a defensive battle at the Kohl Center. The Badgers played from behind throughout the game, but they briefly took the lead in the second half before losing in the final minute.

The Badgers were led by a 17-point performance from point guard Chucky Hepburn and a 15-point game from guard Connor Essegian. Other than Essegian and Hepburn, no other Wisconsin player scored over six points. The Wildcats contained the Wisconsin frontcourt of Tyler Wahl and Steven Crowl and forced the Badgers to take tough shots throughout the game.

The Badgers will play next against the Penn State Nittany Lions on the road on Wednesday night. Wisconsin beat Penn State 63-60 in their first matchup earlier this season.

Wisconsin vs. Northwestern: Stream, Injury Report and Broadcast Info for Sunday

How to watch the Wisconsin Badgers against the Northwestern Wildcats on Sunday night:

The Wisconsin Badgers play the Northwestern Wildcats on Sunday night, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Badgers were able to snap their three-game losing skid with a close victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes, and they will be hoping to make it two straight with a win over Northwestern. The Wildcats were able to edge out the Badgers for the victory in their first matchup a few weeks ago.

In addition to getting revenge, a victory over Northwestern gives Wisconsin a chance to draw level with them in the standings and move only one game behind fourth place in the Big Ten. Although the Badgers have struggled, losing six of nine games since the start of 2023, they still have an opportunity to move out of the bottom of the Big Ten and can potentially make a run for the NCAA Tournament in this final month of the regular season.

It should be an exciting game to watch as the Badgers will attempt to exact their revenge against the Wildcats and gain traction moving into February.

PHOTOS: Wisconsin breaks three-game losing streak in 65-60 win over Ohio State

Photos from Wisconsin basketball’s victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Thursday night:

On Thursday night, the Wisconsin Badgers broke their three-game losing streak in a 65-60 road victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes. Wisconsin was led by a phenomenal 17-point performance from guard Connor Essegian, who also grabbed seven rebounds on the night.

Essegian was not the only Badger that had a good game, as three other starters finished with over 12 points including Max Klesmit, Chucky Hepburn and Steven Crowl. Wisconsin’s struggles did continue from the field, but the Badgers were able to force 16 turnovers including eight steals.

The Badgers will have their chance for revenge on Sunday night when they face off against the Northwestern Wildcats, who beat the Badgers last Monday.

Wisconsin vs. Ohio State: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Thursday

How to watch Wisconsin basketball against the Ohio State Buckeyes on Thursday night:

The Wisconsin Badgers play the Ohio State Buckeyes on Thursday night, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Badgers will head on the road to face a struggling Buckeyes team, as they hope to get back on the right track themselves. Wisconsin has lost six of its last seven games and desperately needs to win if they hope to make the NCAA Tournament.

The Badgers have only averaged 37.2 percent from the field in their previous three games, which were unfortunately all losses. They will need to see better shots from starters like forwards Tyler Wahl and Steven Crowl in this matchup.

Another area Wisconsin will hope to improve against the Buckeyes is from the free throw line since they have averaged an abysmal 66.3 free throw percentage as a team this season. Hopefully, the Badgers can be more efficient against Ohio State and break their three-game losing skid.

Wisconsin basketball receives no votes in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll

Wisconsin basketball receives no votes in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll:

The Wisconsin Badgers have struggled, dropping six of their seven games over the last few weeks. This includes three-straight losses last week to Northwestern, Maryland and Illinois that caused Wisconsin to lose all 17 of its remaining votes in the latest USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll. 

Elsewhere around the Big Ten, Illinois and Indiana, both jumped back into the poll at No. 25 and No. 22, while Purdue retained its throne as the No.1-ranked team in the county. The Hoosiers and Fighting Illini have gone undefeated over the past week and have emerged atop the Big Ten below the Boilermakers.

The USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll top 10 for this week includes Texas(9), UCLA(9), Kansas(8), Arizona(7), Kansas State(6), Alabama(5), Virginia(4), Houston(3), Tennessee(2) and Purdue(1).

The Badgers will have an opportunity to get back on track this week with a matchup on Thursday against an Ohio State squad that has lost back-to-back games.

PHOTOS: Wisconsin drops its third-straight in 61-51 loss against Illinois

Photos from Wisconsin basketball’s third-straight loss against the Illinois Fighting Illini:

The Wisconsin Badgers dropped their third-straight game in a disappointing 61-51 loss to the Illinois Fighting Illini at the Kohl Center. Wisconsin guards Chucky Hepburn and Max Klemsit were the only Badgers to score more than nine points.

The Badgers’ struggles from the field continued in this matchup, as they shot 33.3 percent as a team with guards Connor Essegian and Jordan Davis going a combined 0-9 from the field. On defense, Wisconsin could not contain Illinois forward Matthew Mayer, who dropped 26 points on the Badgers including five three-pointers.

Wisconsin will move on to face the Ohio State Buckeyes on the road on Thursday, in a matchup where both teams are desperately looking for a victory to get out of the bottom of the Big Ten.

How to watch the Wisconsin Badgers at home against the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday afternoon:

The Wisconsin Badgers play the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday night, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Badgers are hoping to have starting guard Max Klesmit return for this matchup, since he has missed the last two games recovering from a hit to the face suffered against Penn State. Wisconsin has struggled to defend in the two matchups in his absence and fell in both games on their road trip.

Even though Klesmit’s return will be important for the Badgers, they will need to see more out of their bench that has only scored a combined 13 points in their losses to Northwestern and Maryland. Their depth has been a huge weaknesses throughout this season, but with the probable return of Klesmit, Jordan Davis will likely come off of the bench to help create some offense in Wisconsin’s second unit.

Hopefully the Badgers can get things back on track at the Kohl Center against Illinois, and avenge their 79-69 loss to the Fighting Illini earlier in the season.
