No. 15 Michigan State would like to forget its road game on Sunday against Purdue. The team got trounced 71-42 by the Boilermakers, marking the team’s first conference loss of the season. Michigan State (13-4, 5-1) suffered its worst loss ever as a top-10 team. The Spartans had never lost as a top-10 team by more than 22 points. Trevion Williams scored 16 points for Purdue, who relied on a staunch defense to keep MSU in check. Cassius Winston finished with 10 points, but also nine turnovers. It marked the Spartans first loss since Dec. 3.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin (11-6, 4-2) is coming off one of its best wins of the season, squeaking by No. 17 Maryland 56-54. In the closing seconds, Brad Davison drilled a three-pointer from the corner that proved to be the game-winner. The Badgers scored their third consecutive win over a ranked opponent this season. The last time Wisconsin won three consecutive games against ranked opponents was during the 2015-16 season. Wisconsin held an opponent under 60 points for the seventh time this season. The team is also 6-1 when limiting opponents to fewer than 60 points, including a 3-0 mark in Big Ten play. Junior Nate Reuvers scored in double figures for the 13th time in 17 games, finishing with a team-high 17 points and five rebounds.
