MADISON, Wis. – The wait to play Louisville was well worth it for the University of Wisconsin.

Playing its rescheduled game from Dec.9, the 12th-ranked Badgers rolled to an 85-48 victory over No.23 Louisville Saturday afternoon.

Jumping out to a 27-point lead in the first half with impeccable shooting, Wisconsin (6-1) finish its nonconference schedule on a three-game winning streak heading into its Big Ten opener against Nebraska Tuesday.
