No. 13 Wisconsin will look to stay atop the Big Ten when the Badgers host Michigan State on Friday, Jan. 26.
Wisconsin has won eight of its past nine games and edged Minnesota, 61-59, in the Barn Battle on Wednesday.
Tyler Wahl had 16 points and hit two free throws with 5 seconds remaining to seal the victory. A.J. Storr had 15 points and 12 rebounds for the Badgers, who beat the Gophers for the seventh straight time.
Max Klesmit scored 11 points and made a key steal down the stretch for Wisconsin, which was 8 for 10 from the foul line.
Guard John Blackwell was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors on Monday. Blackwell became the first Badger to be named Big Ten Freshman of the Week three times since Ethan Happ in 2015-16.
Last week, Blackwell averaged 13 points and three rebounds per game while Wisconsin split a pair of games. In UW's home win over Indiana, he finished with 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3FG) and four rebounds. Blackwell has scored in double figures in 10 of 18 games this season. He's led UW in scoring in two games.
Blackwell ranks fourth in scoring among Big Ten freshmen this season averaging 9.1 points per contest.
Michigan State improved to .500 in the conference with a hard-fought 61-59 road win over Maryland on Sunday. Graduate guard Tyson Walker made a 3-pointer with 44 seconds left, and sophomore guard Tre Holloman forced a turnover on the final possession of the game to earn the win.
Walker led four players in double figures with 15 points, adding a game-high five assists and five steals. He has led the team in scoring 12 times this year. Dating back to last season, Walker has scored in double figures in 30-straight games, the second longest streak in double figures by a player under coach Tom Izzo.
Graduate forward Malik Hall added 12 points and a team-best six rebounds, while senior guard A.J. Hoggard added 12 points and two assists.
The Spartans finished the game shooting 42.0 percent from the floor, but hit 43.8 percent of its 3-points (7-of-16).
