MADISON, Wis. — Coming off a 96-64 win over Campbell in their season opener, No. 24 Wisconsin (1-0) returns to the hardwood to host Northern Illinois (1-0) on Friday. Despite being separated by just 100 miles, the Badgers and Huskies are meeting for the first time in 23 years.

UW defeated Campbell 96-64 in Monday’s season opener. It was a five-point game with just over eight minutes remaining until the Badgers ended things on a 29-2 run.

NIU defeated Louisiana-Monroe 102-82 on Monday. The Huskies have a completely new roster with 16 fresh additions after last season’s 6-25 record.

Can Wisconsin move to 2-0 for the fifth time in six seasons? Or will Northern Illinois get its first win over a Big Ten Conference program since 1999?
