The tide has turned for the Wisconsin Badgers 2021. The team has won three games in a row, was finally able to defeat a ranking opponent and is now leaving next weekend with the chance to take control of the Big Ten West.
While Wisconsin’s win over Purdue set the Badgers up for a race for first place in Iowa, the Minnesota Golden Gophers also got back into the game with another Big Ten win.
All three teams have yet to play against each other, so we’re nearing the end of the Big Ten regular season.
