Head coach Greg Gard and his staff have an ability to find and develop players from the transfer portal. Last year it was AJ Storr, and this year it’s John Tonje. Tonje has undoubtedly been the Badgers' best player this year.

WLUK - The No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team is in East Lansing, Michigan today to face off against the No. 8 Michigan State Spartans to continue their chances of a share of a regular season Big Ten conference championship.

The Wisconsin Badgers fell just a few minutes and a few points short of a defining road win over Michigan State on Sunday.

Fueled by strong rebounding and hot 3-point shooting, No. 8 Michigan State beat No. 11 Wisconsin 71-62 in a game marred by frequent fouls.

The Badgers (22-6, 12-5 Big Ten) travel to the Breslin Center Sunday for a key late-season matchup with the Spartans, the Big Ten's co-leader.

Max Klesmit played just five minutes for the Wisconsin basketball team against Washington. He apparently re-aggravated a lower leg injury that has bothered him this season, but Badgers head coach Greg Gard doesn't think that it's anything to be too worried about.
