The Wisconsin men had a blunder in the regular season finale this past weekend.

But the Badgers can correct all that with a strong stretch of basketball in Indianapolis.

Wisconsin opens up play in the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday against Northwestern. The game will tip 25 minutes after the conclusion of the contest before and air live on BTN.

Playing at home for the final time, the Badgers were stunned by Penn State, a loss that knocked them out of the No. 4 seed, handing the last double-bye to UCLA. 

John Tonje ended the regular season averaging just under 19 points with five rebounds per game. John Blackwell is second on the team at 15.6 points with Steven Crowl, Max Klesmit and Nolan Winter all adding nearly 10 each. Klesmit missed the last stretch of games with an injury.

The Wildcats posted a win over Minnesota to advance as Nick Martinelli scored 28 points with seven rebounds. Three others scored in double figures.
