Wisconsin, led by first-year position coach Kenny Guiton, offered Trae Taylor on Jan. 10.

On Monday, the four-star quarterback in the 2027 recruiting class took an unofficial visit with the Badgers. Taylor, from Carmel Catholic in Illinois, previously camped with the Badgers and visited for a game at Camp Randall in October of 2023.

If the Wisconsin women are going to right the ship, they are going to need to get going in a hurry.

Coming off an eighth straight loss, the Badgers (10-10, 1-8) welcome in Michigan on Wednesday. 

The good news for Wisconsin is they play three of the next four at home. The bad news, though, is those include matchups with recently ranked Michigan and national title contender USC.

Troubles continued for the Badgers over the weekend, as they were blown out at Minnesota by 21 points. They have not had a game decided by less than 10 since a December 31 loss to Minnesota by nine.

Michigan (14-6, 5-4) saw its four-game win streak come to an end at the hands of Michigan State, 88-58. They topped Minnesota by five during the run and are led by Olivia Olson, who averages just under 16 points per game.

The ESPN BPI gives Michigan a 93 percent chance to win the game.

Our Prediction: Michigan 74, Wisconsin 60

MADISON, Wis. — — John Tonje scored 27 points and No. 18 Wisconsin never trailed while routing Nebraska 83-55 on Sunday to hand the Cornhuskers their sixth consecutive loss.

Wisconsin (16-4, 6-3 Big Ten) bounced back from an 85-83 loss at UCLA that snapped a seven-game winning streak.

Wisconsin grabbed a 19-2 lead less than five minutes into the game by shooting 7 of 8 from the floor and 5 of 6 on 3-pointers. Nebraska responded with a 19-5 spurt that included Wisconsin going scoreless for over six minutes, but the Badgers answered with a 16-2 run and never looked back.

John Blackwell scored 14 points and Kamari McGee added 11 for Wisconsin.

Brice Williams had 11 points to lead Nebraska (12-8, 2-7). Wisconsin transfer Connor Essegian scored eight points while facing his former team for the first time.

Takeaways

Nebraska: In four of its losses during this skid, Nebraska was within one possession in the final 10 seconds of regulation time. But this game wasn’t competitive, even as the slumping Cornhuskers shuffled their lineup by giving Sam Hoiberg and Andrew Morgan their first starts of the season.

Wisconsin: The Badgers are in the midst of an eight-game stretch in which they play at home only twice, so they need to make the most of these rare Kohl Center appearances. They did just that Sunday.

Key moment

Wisconsin led 25-21 when Jack Janicki converted a steal into a dunk on the other end with less than five minutes left in the first half. Janicki’s big play sparked a 16-2 spurt that gave Wisconsin a 17-point advantage.

Key stats

Wisconsin shot 17 of 37 from 3-point range to match its third-highest, single-game total for 3-pointers in school history.

Up next

Wisconsin visits Maryland on Wednesday. Nebraska is at No. 17 Illinois on Thursday.
