After eight wins in eight non-conference games to start the year, No. 11 is ranked Wisconsin men’s basketball team opens Big Ten play on Tuesday night against Michigan.

The Badgers (8-0) have surprised many with their fast start, which includes wins over Arizona and Pittsburgh.

Led by John Tonje, Wisconsin is averaging just over 85 points per game and shooting 36 percent from the 3-point line. Tonje averages just under 23, John Blackwell and Max Klesmit are both in double figures.

This will be different, however, as conference games between rivals are always challenging.

Michigan is 6-1 and only lost to Wake Forest by two points. They are coming off a win against Xavier and have also stopped Virginia Tech this season.
