13. Wisconsin Badgers

Previous Ranking: 10

Record: 13-3 (2-1 Big Ten)

Despite a loss to Purdue, no Big Ten team is quite as hot as Wisconsin. The Badgers had won nine straight before running into the Boilermakers in West Lafayette. A home date against Ohio State should get the team back on track.

In the team’s most recent win, forward Ethan Happ went off for 19 points and six rebounds. The young forward is just one of the more exciting prospects to watch throughout conference play.

Zak Showalter scored 14 and star Bronson Koenig has 17 over the Hoosiers. Wisconsin is very capable of making a run at the conference title this year.
