home win in stride Badgers expect more as season continues
for UW since defeating Saint Louis on Dec. 5. While the Badgers were excited about giving a home crowd of more than 8,500 fans a win, expectations are higher as the Big Ten season counts down. The win wasn't a surprise to the team so fans should also expect more wins — both home and away.
Scoring from deep » Wisconsin tied a school and Kohl Center record against Northwest- ern Sunday by making 11 3-point- ers. Sophomore Morgan Paige set the individual Kohl Center record by making six treys, including four straight late in the first half.

The Badgers have averaged 10 triples made per game over the stretch.

Wisconsin has had at least three players in double figures in 10 games this year.
