Bookmark and Share by Eric Williams

The ninth-ranked Texas Longhorns (9-2 SU, 4-4 ATS, 3-5 O/U) had their six-game winning streak in the BetUS Sportsbook snapped in their last outing.

The Wisconsin Badgers (9-2 SU, 5-4 ATS, 4-4-1 O/U) have won three straight games, the last two by routs.

Tonight, both teams will be looking to pick up a victory when they battle at the Kohl Center tonight.

The Longhorns also have some extra motivation after losing to Wisconsin last season in a heart-breaking 67-66 home loss.

The Longhorns are coming off a 67-63 loss to then-No. 19 Michigan State on Saturday. Senior guard A.J. Abrams, second in the Big 12 in scoring , averaging 19.7 points per game, was held to a season-low eight points on 3-for-10 shooting from the field.

"Every time I did catch the ball, if I did catch the ball, I was kind of out of position," said Abrams, who was held without a 3-pointer for the first time in 17 games dating to last season. "They just did a good job on me. Looking back on it, if I could do something different, I might kind of slow down a little bit."

The Badgers enter tonight’s matchup coming off a 57-46 win over Coppin State on Saturday.

Sophomore forward Jon Leuer scored a team-high 16 points on 8-for-12 shooting while Marcus Landry and Jason Bohannon each chipped in 11 points in the closer-than-expected win.

"I liked the way we stuck our noses down and ground it out," Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said.
