How to watch Wisconsin vs. Michigan State in the Big Ten Tournament

The Wisconsin Badgers and the Michigan State Spartans meet up once again in the Big Ten Tournament, as the two programs will lock horns in one of the two semifinal matchups on Saturday inside the United Center.

No. 4 seed Wisconsin (23-9) withstood a feisty Nebraska team on Friday afternoon in a 66-62 win. Both forwards Khalil Iverson and Nate Reuvers led the way with 14 points on a combined 12-of-19 shooting, while Aleem Ford and Brad Davison contributed 11 points each in the victory. That was huge with the rough performance by first-team All-Big Ten forward Ethan Happ, who only played 20 minutes and recorded four points, seven rebounds, four assists and seven turnovers.

UW will face No. 1 seed Michigan State (26-6), who defeated the returning Kaleb Wesson and No. 8 seed Ohio State 77-70 immediately prior to the Badgers’ and Huskers’ quarterfinal game.

In the only meeting between the schools, the Spartans tamed the Badgers at the Kohl Center on Feb. 12 in a 67-59 win.
