WISCONSIN BADGERS

FEBRUARY 26TH

Wisconsin is a perennial powerhouse. This would be such a huge win for our 2018 squad. It’s also at home in front of our home crowd. Which is good for us. We are very fortunate to receive these home games against Ohio State and Wisconsin as we have struggled on the road. The Badgers are 16th ranked going into this weekend. We have some really big games coming up when Big Ten play begins. This matchup will always be important for Indiana basketball.

CONCLUSION 

These matchups are in no particular order. They are all important. If we want to be remembered this season as a great team, this is where we start. Beating Big Ten blue bloods consistently. Right now in college sports we have become pushovers and a laughing stock. Nobody takes Indiana basketball or Indiana football seriously. That needs to change. This basketball squad has all the potential to be great this season.
