Wisconsin won the only meeting between these two teams way back in 1954, with a final score of 80-68. 

It has been an up and down season for the Western Michigan Broncos, with a 4-8 record currently. The Broncos nearly pulled off an upset in their first game of the season, narrowly losing to the Minnesota Golden Gophers 61-60. The two teams have only one common opponent on the year so far, with that being the Dayton Flyers. The Broncos lost to the Flyers in Dayton 67-47 on November 30th, and the Badgers defeated the Flyers in the Bahamas 43-42.
