Wisconsin Wipes Out Large Deficit, Downs Minnesota

  • On January 28, 2026, Wisconsin overcame an 18-point halftime deficit to beat Minnesota 67-63 at the Kohl Center, with John Blackwell scoring 23 points and making the decisive free throws.
  • With six players unavailable, Minnesota was missing leading scorer Cade Tyson and played only seven players in their short-handed rotation.
  • Following a 17.9% first-half shooting night, Wisconsin answered with a second-half 10-0 run that expanded into a 15-2 spurt, overcoming its poor start.
  • The win gives Wisconsin Badgers a program record with 11 straight wins over Minnesota and they will host Ohio State on Saturday.
  • The Gophers, short on depth, continued a slide as Bobby Durkin scored 20, Isaac Asuma 16 and Langston Reynolds 12 while four starters logged at least 36 minutes.
