Wisconsin shooting 29.4 percent in the first half. Badgers have shot under 42 percent in the 1st half of 5 B1G games, including last 3.

by Benjamin Worgull via twitter 1/28/2017 5:34:52 PM
On the plus side, RU shooting 50%, UW shooting 29% and RU is only up one. If Badgers can start dropping shots, this one may turn fast.
