The Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the Milwaukee Panthers in their final game of 2025, as well as their final conference game, on Tuesday, with tip-off slated for 6:00 p.m on Big Ten Network.
The Badgers
enter Tuesday with an 8-4 record, having yet to secure a Quad 1 win during their non-conference slate despite having three opportunities to do so. As a result, they stand a paltry 66th in the NET rankings, needing a strong second half to turn things around from a resume-building standpoint.
Last week, they had just one game, beating the Central Michigan Chippewas 88-61 behind a strong bench effort. Nolan Winter and Austin Rapp led the way with 18 points apiece in John Blackwell’s absence, as Wisconsin snapped a two-game losing streak.
Wisconsin faces a Milwaukee team that has gone 7-6, although they’ve really struggled on the road. The Panthers will be down leading scorer Seth Hubbard and will have a tough challenge defensively, as they’ve ranked 331st in the country in points allowed so far this season.
Heading into the game, Wisconsin is a 20.5-point favorite, with the over/under at 156.5 points. The Badgers will have Blackwell back, but Nolan Winter is listed as questionable on the Injury Report.
