It’ll be a while before I stop saying it — finally, it’s time for some hoops again.
Tonight at the Kohl Center, the No. 13 Wisconsin Badgers (1-0) will host the Colgate Raiders (1-0) of the Patriot League in each team’s second game of the season.
Wisconsin, of course, is fresh off a resounding 85-31 victory over Kennesaw State in the season opener Saturday. The Badgers were led in that game by a pair of sophomore guards, Josh Gasser and Ben Brust, with 14 points a piece. Star senior point guard Jordan Taylor finished with 11 points and a game-high seven assists, along with four rebounds and two steals.
Arguably the highlight of the opener, though, was the Badgers’ defense, which limited the Owls to just eight points at halftime.
The Raiders, meanwhile, enter this game after winning their first season-opener in three years, a 78-74 win over Binghamton Saturday.
I’m live here at the Kohl Center with fellow Herald Sports editor Elliot Hughes, and we’ll be keeping you updated all game long on the live blog below. Thanks for following, and have a great night.
