The Wisconsin Badgers basketball team was set to take on the Northwestern Wildcats on Saturday. Big Ten play is in full swing and the Badgers are looking to bounce back after a rough week and a half. They will have to wait a little longer to get back on the court. Saturday’s game has been canceled due to Covid-19 health and safety protocols.
UPDATE: Saturday's game at Northwestern will not be played due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols within the Northwestern program.
The two schools will work together to identify possible rescheduling dates.MORE 📰 | https://t.co/Za7rAP7vMW pic.twitter.com/LcL0rfmRu6

Wisconsin Badgers Basketball Game Canceled
The Northwestern program is experiencing an outbreak of Covid-19 in their program. This is the second straight game that the Northwestern Wildcats have had to reschedule due to the outbreak. This is a good move by the Big Ten as no team wants to purposely put their players at risk for any sickness. The Big Ten is working with all of the teams to find a rescheduled date. The goal is for this game to be made up at a later date.
The Badgers’ next scheduled game is Wednesday, January 25th against Maryland. The Wisconsin Badgers basketball team will get a little extra rest with the game canceled.
