Wisconsin defeated Minnesota in a close away victory which gave the Badgers a 9-3 conference record and a 6 game win streak. Star forward Ethan Happ added another double-double to his stat line scoring 15 points and grabbing 13 rebounds.

But the Wisconsin win streak would soon come to and end at Michigan. The Badgers stayed hot in the first half and were able to match the Wolverines and go into the locker room tied. But they just didn’t have enough in the second half, falling 61-52.

Wisconsin only has one game in week 15 and will come against Michigan State.

After losing their first three Big Ten games the Iowa Hawkeyes have won 8 of the last 10 in the Big Ten which is why they find themselves at number four on my list. Their last victory was a tough road win against an Indiana team that was coming off a win against Michigan State.

Jordan Bohannon would have a fantastic game in that big win as he put up 25 points against the Hoosiers in Bloomington. Bohannon would then turn around and hit a buzzer beater to defeat Northwestern for their 8th Big Ten win of the season.

Wisconsin’s lone game in week 15 will come against a scrappy Rutgers team.
