10. Wisconsin (21-4)

It seemed like a matter of time before the Wisconsin Badgers would suffer their second loss in the Big Ten. Wisconsin only beat Indiana by five and Nebraska by one in overtime before hosting Northwestern on Saturday.

The Wildcats got the best of Wisconsin, seemingly punching their NCAA Tournament ticket in the process, and won 66-59. It ended Wisconsin’s eight-game winning streak and gave the Badgers their first home loss of the season.

The last time Wisconsin lost at home was Jan/ 9, 2016, against Maryland, 63-60.

Wisconsin is still searching for a quality win, but the teams behind them also lost which helped them stay in the top 10 this week. Besides, the Badgers have responded with 20-plus point wins after all three of their previous losses this season.

With six games left in the regular season, they can prove a lot if they bounce back from this loss and win out. They still hold a game lead over Maryland and Purdue, so the Big Ten is Wisconsin’s to lose.

Wisconsin travels to Michigan and hosts their last ranked team on their schedule, Maryland, this week.
