Wisconsin basketball rises in Big Ten standings, thanks to rival Minnesota
Minnesota’s recent play is one of the biggest stories in the conference. The Gophers have won three straight: 84-81 vs. No. 21 Michigan, 72-67 at Iowa, and 77-69 vs. No. 15 Oregon. That trio of Quad 1 victories follows the team’s 0-6 start in conference play. That start, remember, included an 80-59 loss to Wisconsin.
