Where to Watch Tonight’s Wisconsin vs Milwaukee Game: Broadcast Details and Betting Tips

The Wisconsin Badgers will host the UW-Milwaukee Panthers in a men’s college basketball game tonight. The tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. Central Time at the Kohl Center in Madison.

This game marks the first meeting between the two Wisconsin-based programs since 2019. Wisconsin enters the contest after an eight-day holiday break, while UW-Milwaukee played a Horizon League game just last night. The Panthers face a tough challenge considering their recent schedule and road struggles.

Game Odds and Betting Overview
According to BetMGM’s latest odds:

1. Wisconsin is favored with a 21.5-point spread.
2. The over/under for total points scored is set at 155.5.
3. On the moneyline, Wisconsin is heavily favored at -5000 while UW-Milwaukee sits at +1400.

These odds reflect Wisconsin’s dominant history against UW-Milwaukee, having lost just once since 1993 and maintaining a 19-game home winning streak over non-conference opponents.

Team Context and Key Players
Wisconsin currently holds a 5-0 record against mid-major teams this season, including a convincing 88-61 win over Central Michigan. The Badgers’ depth showed in that game, with reserves scoring 44 points. Austin Rapp led the bench scoring with 18 points.

For UW-Milwaukee, freshman standout Josh Dixon has impressed by earning Horizon League player of the week honors after averaging 26 points in recent matchups. However, the Panthers were dealt a setback when their leading scorer Seth Hubbard, a Toledo transfer, was ruled out for the season due to a shoulder injury.

The Panthers are 1-5 on the road and have faced power-conference competition twice this season, losing at Indiana and at then-No. 11 Texas Tech. These factors make tonight’s visit to Madison a significant test for UWM.

Upcoming Wisconsin Schedule
Following tonight’s game, Wisconsin prepares to resume Big Ten play with several challenging matchups:

1. vs. Purdue on Jan. 3 at 7 p.m. CT
2. vs. UCLA on Jan. 6 at 8 p.m. CT
3. at Michigan on Jan. 10 midday (time TBD)
4. at Minnesota on Jan. 13 at 6 p.m. CT

This non-conference finale against the Panthers will serve as a final tune-up before the Badgers face top-tier competition in their conference schedule.

Fans planning to tune in tonight should set their clocks for a 6 p.m. CT tipoff on BTN to catch Wisconsin and UW-Milwaukee as they renew their rivalry after several years.
