Badgers fall to 11th in AP poll after home loss to Michigan State

Jan 24, 2022 | 12:05 PM

The Badgers enter a new week a half-game behind Michigan State with a 6-2 record in the Big Ten. They’ll face off against Nebraska on Thursday in a game that had to be moved due to COVID-19 problems in the Cornhuskers’ program before a border battle with Minnesota on Sunday.

The game at Nebraska was originally scheduled to be played Tuesday. The Huskers have lost six games in a row and have yet to win a Big Ten game, entering the week at 0-8 in the conference. Minnesota is undefeated in non-conference games this year, but has also struggled against Big Ten foes to this point with a 2-5 record in the conference.
