Time for some weekend hoops today, as the No. 14/16 Wisconsin Badgers (7-2) host the Nevada-Las Vegas Rebels (9-1) at the Kohl Center. The Badgers are coming off a 70-42 win over in-state rival Green Bay Wednesday night, while the Rebels trounced Cal State San Marcos 94-50 in Las Vegas that night.
The two teams met last year in Vegas, where UNLV won a back-and-forth affair 68-65. Both teams also have a common opponent this season in North Carolina, which UNLV beat four days before Wisconsin nearly did the same Nov. 30.
I’ll be here all game long alongside fellow Herald Sports editor Elliot Hughes to deliver all the action to you on the live blog below. Thanks for following, and have a great weekend.
