The Badgers have won three straight in the series. Last season, UW earned a 75-64 victory over third-ranked MU, prompting students to storm the court at the Kohl Center in Madison.

The teams will look different next season. The Golden Eagles will no longer have key playmakers Tyler Kolek and Oso Ighodaro, both likely to get picked in the NBA draft next week, and the Badgers lost three starters and added three transfers.
