Wisconsin Basketball announces Northwestern game rescheduled for Jan. 23

The game between Wisconsin and Northwestern originally scheduled for Saturday has been rescheduled for Monday.

The Wildcats had a COVID-19 outbreak within the program this past week, causing their two games this week to be canceled. Their other game was a mid-week contest against Iowa.

The game will be played at 5:30 p.m. CT and be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.

The contest also impacts Northwestern’s next game, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday against Nebraska. It will now take place Wednesday.

The Badgers are 12-5 on the season and 4-3 in conference play, while the Wildcats are also 12-5 and 3-3 in the Big Ten.

UPDATE: The game at Northwestern, originally scheduled for Saturday in Evanston, Illinois, has been rescheduled for Monday, Jan. 23 at 5:30 p.m. (CT) at Welsh-Ryan Arena. The game will be broadcast live on Big Ten Network.
