Time Machine: Badgers vs. Duke (2007)
Let’s rewind two years ago to November 27, 2007, the last time the Badgers faced Duke in the Big-10 / ACC Challenge…
The Badgers came into that game ranked 20th in the A.P. Poll, and left Cameron Indoor with an 82-58 beat down. The 24-point margin is the eighth largest in the 10-year history of the series.
