May have missed this before, but Jordan Hulls was just announced as a "6-foot graduate student". Haven't heard that before.

The #Badgers 10-game win streak over IU is even more amazing when you consider UW lost 31 straight in the series from 1980-96.

Time to make it 11 in a row against the Hoosiers. That's domination #BadgerNation

Jordan Hulls (2.68) and Yogi Ferrell (2.55) are on pace to have the two best assist/turnover ratios of any Hoosier since 1999.

IU's senior men's BB players have never beaten Wisconsin. One of only two teams they haven't beaten. The other? They are 0-1 vs. Nebraska.
