Iowa Basketball: Weekly Big Ten Power Rankings
By Kenny Levine
10. Wisconsin (9-8, 2-2)
Given the amount of talent and success that Wisconsin lost last year, it was obviously going to be a difficult year for Greg Gard and the Badgers. Losing top guards D’Mitrik Trice and Kobe King for significant time didn’t help mattes either. Ethan Happ is carrying the Badgers, but he can only do so much.
Wisconsin split its two game this week and sits at 2-2 in Big Ten play. This week essentially showed who Wisconsin is. The defense is so stout, that Wisconsin can hang around and win any game, like it did against Indiana. However the offense can be so challenged and struggle to score that it can also lose to anybody, as we saw with the Badgers loss at Rutgers on Friday. Wisconsin plays at Nebraska in its only game this week.
