Wisconsin Basketball Guards Chucky Hepburn, AJ Storr Combine for 42-Points in Big Win

Wisconsin basketball came right out of the gate against the Purdue Boilermakers swinging and ready for a fight. Both Chucky Hepburn and Tyler Wahl stepped up and played through tough lower body injuries to lead the Wisconsin team to a wonderful victory. Hepburn dropped 22 points after missing the previous game due to a rolled ankle, but the guard made sure he put together his best performance when it truly mattered.

AJ Storr also added 20 points and six rebounds as the Badgers’ offense flourished against a tough Boilermakers team. Wisconsin pressured Purdue and forced a whopping 16 turnovers as the Boilermakers seemed to truly struggle against the pressure of the Badgers defense.

Wisconsin basketball forced Purdue to turn the ball over way too many times, and those empty possessions ended up being key for the Badgers. The Boilermakers are a very strong, well-rounded team, which makes this win for the Badgers even more impressive.

Wisconsin Basketball Advances in B1G Tournament Following Win Against Excellent Purdue Boilermakers 

With the win over Purdue, Wisconsin basketball is now in the Big Ten Conference Tournament finals after entering the tournament as the five-seed. The Badgers have saved some of their best basketball for this tournament, and the wins of the Boilermakers and the Northwestern Wildcats have proven so.

Wisconsin will now face the winner of the Illinois versus Nebraska game, which will take place later today. The Wisconsin Badgers basketball team will play tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. CT to compete for the Conference Tournament trophy.

Can the Wisconsin Badgers Basketball Team Win the Big Ten Conference Tournament? 

The Wisconsin basketball team has been some of their best ball all season, and could finally regain the momentum they had earlier this season. The Badgers appear to have returned to form after knocking off the #3 Purdue Boilermakers in a thrilling overtime game. However, the next big test will come against the winner of Illinois versus Nebraska.

Wisconsin has lost against both Illinois and Nebraska this season, but also has a win over the Cornhuskers at home. Both teams are strong and could pose a threat to Wisconsin, but either way the Badgers seem to be a tough team to beat at the moment. Between their defensive pressure and versatile scoring ability, it certainly will be a tough game for either team when they face the Badgers.
