TEAM NOTES
- Wisconsin improved to 9-1 on the season, marking the fourth time UW has won nine of its first 10 games under Bo Ryan.
- Bo Ryan is now 330-122 (.730) during his 14 years at Wisconsin, and improved to 14-0 all-time against Milwaukee.
- The Badgers improved to 31-1 all-time against Milwaukee, having won 22 straight in the series. UW is 11-0 in Milwaukee.
- Ryan is now 33-6 (.846) in the in-state round-robin with Marquette, Milwaukee and Green Bay, capping off a 3-0 sweep this season.
- The Badgers moved to 21-5 away from home over the last two seasons, including a mark of 5-0 this season. UW now owns the most road/neutral wins over that span among all major conference teams. UW's .808 win percentage is tied for second among major conference teams.
- Wisconsin won by 39 points, a record for the biggest road winning margin in school history. The Badgers eclipsed the previous record by one point, which was a 38-point winning margin at Chaminade (104-66), on Nov. 22, 1995.
- The Badgers scored 93 points, the most on the road by a Wisconsin team in the Bo Ryan era.
- UW shot a season-high 60.9% from the field, going 39-for-64, marking the team's best shooting percentage in a road game during the Bo Ryan era. UW's 60.9% shooting is also the team's best since hitting 62.0% vs. North Dakota on Nov. 16, 2010.
- Wisconsin led 45-24 at the half, the team's second-highest scoring first half of the season (52 vs. Chattanooga).
- UW owned a 24-6 first half edge on points in the paint. That equaled UWM's team total by the break.
