As the Wisconsin Badgers prepare to host the Maryland Terrapins at the Kohl Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent trend of strong performances. The Badgers have been showcasing a solid game with an impressive victory over Chicago State Cougars, where they dominated both halves and finished with a comfortable 80-53 win. Their offensive efficiency was on full display as they shot 50 percent from the field and an outstanding 77 percent from the free-throw line.

Their defensive prowess wasn't far behind, as they managed to block four shots and steal four times from their opponents. This balance between offense and defense is something that has been consistent in their games.


In another recent matchup against Jacksonville State Gamecocks, Wisconsin emerged victorious with a score of 75-60.
