Matchup with North Carolina gives Wisconsin chance to shine

Posted Nov 30, 2011
Fresh off winning the Chicago Invitational Challenge with a 17-point victory Saturday night over a fellow 2011 Sweet 16 participant in BYU, the Badgers (6-0 overall) now face what is likely their toughest game of the season: a Wednesday night road matchup with No. 5 North Carolina (5-1) in Chapel Hill. This will be the first time Wisconsin has played the Tar Heels since the 2005 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. (The Daily Cardinal)
