Live-Blogging Shish on College Basketball: 2022 Big Ten MBK Quarterfinals-Michigan State Spartans at Wisconsin Badgers

Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on College Basketball’. Tonight it is a Big Ten Men’s Basketball Quarterfinals game, between Michigan State Spartans and Wisconsin Badgers.

Sparty is thankful they played Maryland in 2 straight games. Now they get to play in the quarterfinals playing a Badger Team, who split the two games these two powerhouse programs had against each other.

For the Badgers, they are not sure if their star guard Johnny Davis will be playing and at what capacity. He suffered an ankle injury against Nebraska. So, this will be interesting in the Big Ten’s featured quarterfinal game.


Spartans are led by Gabe Brown in scoring. While Marcus Bingham, Junior leads Michigan State in rebounding. And A.J. Hoggard leads the East Lansing in assists.

As for the Badgers, they are led by the aforementioned Johnny Davis in scoring and rebounding. And Chucky Hepburn leads Wisconsin in assists.

It is Michigan State Spartans and Wisconsin Badgers, coming up shortly.
