GAME THREAD: Wisconsin vs. Minnesota

The Wisconsin Badgers (2-3 overall, 1-2 Big Ten West) are all set to play the Minnesota Golden Gophers (3-3 overall, 3-1 Big Ten West) on Saturday afternoon to attempt to retain Paul Bunyan’s Axe. The state of Wisconsin is off to a good start and is already 1-0 on the day since the men’s basketball team demolished Louisville on Saturday morning.

The Badgers have had a rough season and it would be a really nice way to end the season with a win over the Gophers. Minnesota doesn’t have a posted depth chart, but you’ll find the Badgers’ two deep below and we will update this post with any late-breaking lineup news.

Here are the staff’s predictions for the Badgers AND the Packers tonight. Go state of Wisconsin, boo Minnesota and Carolina.
