Men’s Hoops: UWM Men Go For Second Straight Upset Of Badgers

The U-W Milwaukee men will try to upset Wisconsin for a second straight time when the two teams play in Madison tonight (Friday). The Panthers edged the Badgers 68-67 the last time they faced each other in December of 2015 — and it was just Milwaukee’s second victory in 33 previous games against Wisconsin. The Panthers are 4-1 this season with a signature victory two weekends ago at Iowa State — and they’re coming off a win against Elon last Sunday in which U-W-M came back from 19 down when Jeremy Johnson hit the game winner with nine tenths of a second left. The Badgers are 2-3 after falling to three ranked teams, including U-C-L-A Tuesday night at the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City. Also tonight (Friday), the U-W Green Bay men will try to even their 1-2 record when they host Florida “A” and “M.”
