The Badgers will try to bounce back from their loss to Oregon on Saturday by defeating Washington, the last-place team in the Big Ten.

Three days after blowing a 15-point second half lead in a loss to Oregon, the Badgers return to action against Washington Tuesday at the Kohl Center.

Wisconsin moves to 22-6 (12-5 Big Ten) with the triumph. It rises into third place in the conference standings as a result, just 1 1/2 game back of first-place Michigan and Michigan State. The Badgers play the Spartans on Sunday afternoon in what is likely to be a season-defining game for both teams.
