The Wisconsin Badgers (12-3, 2-2 Big Ten) are back on the Kohl Center court on Friday night for a matchup against the Minnesota Golden Gophers (8-7, 0-4 Big Ten).

The two teams’ records display a discrepancy in quality, as do the latest KenPom standings —Wisconsin is up at No. 21 in the nation (No. 5 in the Big Ten), while Minnesota is down at No. 109 (last in the Big Ten).

The Badgers will look for a fifth consecutive victory and third straight Big Ten win when the two teams tip-off at 7 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. CT. For fans interested in tuning in, the game will be broadcast exclusively via Peacock.

Wisconsin is 1-2 in Peacock-only games this season. Those results include a big win over Arizona, plus tough losses to Michigan and Illinois. Minnesota appears far less of a test than those three top-ranked foes, at least on paper.

The Badgers do enter the contest with considerable momentum after big wins over Iowa and Rutgers, the former in record-breaking fashion. Minnesota, meanwhile, has lost two straight to No. 20 Purdue and Ohio State. It has dropped all four conference games it has played this season.

Wisconsin enters Friday’s game as the prohibitive favorite. Fans will need to tune into Peacock to see how the game unfolds.
